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, Bright blessed day 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 shakin' 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.
