I see leaves 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 going 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.

I see leaves of green,
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you.
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world.
