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 GOIN' BY
I SEE FRIENDS SHAKING HANDS, SAYING,
"HOW DO YOU DO?"
THEY'RE REALLY SAYING, "I LOVE YOU."
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
YES I THINK TO MYSELF,
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD.
