5. Lyrics
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see em bloom, for me and for you
And I think to myself: what a wonderful world
6. Lyrics
I see skies of blue, clouds of white
Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself: what a wonderful world
7. Lyrics
The colors of the 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.”
8. Lyrics
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more, than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself: what a wonderful world
10. Lyrics (repeat)
The colors of the 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
You know their gonna learn a whole lot more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself: what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself: what a wonderful world
