(listen 2 minutes to Louis Armstrong while reading my post) 
I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them blue before 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,
or 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.
Ooh yeah!
