I see trees of green

"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.

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 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.

George Weiss - Bob Thiele
