Song lyricsI see trees of green Red roses too I've seen 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 brightness of day The dark secret night And I think to myself What a wonderful world. The colours 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 crying 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. |

Notes"What a Wonderful World" is a song written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss. It was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released in 1967 as a single, which topped the pop charts in the United Kingdom, though it performed poorly in the United States because Larry Newton, the president of ABC Records, disliked the song and refused to promote it. The song was written by producer Bob Thiele and composer and performer George David Weiss which was inspired by Armstrong's ability to bring people of different races together. Not initially a hit in the United States, the song gradually became something of a standard and reached a new level of popularity. Watch song clips from original soundtrack and other parts of movie |
