I considered playing an April Fools’ Day joke on you, but, well, you’re just too wonderful . . .
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
George David Weiss & Robert Thiele
I see trees of green and 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 days and the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of a rainbow
So pretty in the sky
And also other faces
Of all the 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 know much more
Than I'll never know
And I think to myself (self)

I can hear in my head the wonderful Louis Armstrong singing this. :).
Love the original version of this 🎶
“Decades after its original release, Louis Armstrong's “What A Wonderful World” continues to inspire through its timeless message of love, peace, and harmony.”
