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 COLOUR 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 SAYIN': "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
