(weiss/douglas)

I see trees of green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And i think to myself: what a wonderful world


I see skies of blue, clouds of white
The bright blessed day and 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 the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying: "how do you do?"
What they're really saying is: "i love you."


I hear babies cry, i watch them grow
They'll know 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
