Wonderful World

It's a wonderful world

And you take and you give

And the sun fills the sky

In the space where you live

It's a day full of dreams

It's a dream of a day

And the joy that it brings

Nearly sweeps her away

It's a wonderful world

As the buildings fall down

And you quicken your step

'til your feet leave the ground

And you're soaring above

All the sorrow below

And you're falling in love

With those you don't know

And your heart feels so wide

And your heart fills so strong

It was never a place

That you felt you belonged

It's a wonderful world

Full of wonderful things

And the people fall down

And abandon their dreams

(I hear him, he's talking out loud

Sometimes he whistles while walking

How could he know any better?

I weep for him, I weep for him now)

It's a wonderful world

It's a real crying shame

Cos she's hurting herself

In a violent way

And there's people she knows

That won't even try

And they're trapped in their lives

Feeling terrified

And it's in times like these

That she promised to call

But the scale of our love

Is diminished and small

It's a wonderful world

And she doesn't know why

She wakes up each day

And continues to cry

(He's sleeping his troubles away

He's finding it too hard to bear

I'm with him every step of the way

I weep for him, I weep for him now)

It's a wonderful world

And you take and you give

And the sun fills the sky
