1 I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!
2 I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!
Refrain
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you"
3 I hear babies cry, and I watched them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world!
