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, 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 shaking hands, saying "how do you do?"

they're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies crying, 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

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
