Lyrics
What A Wonderful World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll never know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
