Lyrics:

[English]

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and for you

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world

...

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed days, dark sacred nights

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 sayin', "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

...

Oh, yes

...
