Lyrics:

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.

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.

The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by.
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you."

I hear babies cryin', I watch 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.

Oh yeah!
