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 colours  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.
