I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin......i love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
Theyll learn much more.....than Ill never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

(instrumental break)

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin...*spoken*(I ....love....you).

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
*spoken*(you know their gonna learn
A whole lot more than Ill never know)
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.

Served as the intro music at church for years. Probably still does, but I left when they moved across town (two buses each way on Sunday?!)

4. Your original subject was quite different

I've forgotten what it was, but remember wanting to say trouble maker lol.

:hi:

[Lil Missy]

8. I did not wish to make trouble.

So, I changed the subject. :)

People like that can burn out without my help.

7. The most perfect song and arrangement ever; if one can't appreciate it I feel pity for them.

So simple and pure and perfect; I sob everythime I hear it.

I think of the episode of Twin Peaks where Maddy gets it.
