Lyrics

[Verse 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

[Verse 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

[Bridge]

The colors of the rainbow

So pretty in the sky

Are also on the faces

Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Saying, "How do you do?"

They're really saying

"I love you" ("I love you")

[Verse 3]

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

[Outro]

Yes, I think to myself

What a wonderful world

Oh, yeah
