"What a Wonderful World"



"What A Wonderful World"
Sung by "Louis Armstrong"
Words by Bob Thiele (as "George Douglas") and George David Weiss
(played by my friends a/k/a "Angel" and "Brian" every Sunday morning at 9 AM on Flagler College Radio, WFCF, 88.5 (Radio with a reason).
Thanks to the BBC and Robin Williams' "Good Morning Vietnam" for popularizing a cool song that got little recognition in the USA, where Tony Bennett turned it down and ABC Records did not publicize it, read more here.
Watch video here:

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 ever know.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.

Oh yeah.
