 WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD LYRICS
BY
Louis Armstrong
I see trees of green……red roses too
I see them bloom…..for me and for you
And I think to myself….what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue…clouds of white

Bright blessed days……dark scared nights
And I think to myself….what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow….so pretty.. in the sky

Are also on the faces…of people.. going by
I see friends shaking hands…sayin.. how do you do
They’re really sayin..i love you
I hear babies cry…. I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more…than I’ll never know
And I think to myself….what a wonderful world

The colors of rainbow…so pretty.. in the sky

Are there on the faces…of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands…..sayin.. how do you do
They’re really sayin… *spoken* (I …love…you).

A whole lot more than I’ll never know)
And I think to myself…what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself….what a wonderful world.
