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 shakin' hands

sayin' "how do you do?"

but they're really saying babe

"i love you"


i hear babies cryin'

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


the colours of the rainbow

so pretty in the sky

are also on the faces

of people going by


i see friends shakin' hands

sayin' "how do you do?"

but they're really saying babe

"i love you"
