What a Wonderful World was written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss during a period of racial and political upheaval in the United States, aiming to promote an optimistic outlook on life.
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 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
