What a Wonderful World

Barry Manilow Barry Manilow

Everyday I wake up full of wonder
One more chance at a promising day
And I always say
What a wonderful life

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself (and I think to myself)
What a wonderful world (oh, what a wonderful world)

And I see skies of blue, clouds of white
The bright blessed day and the dark sacred night
And I think to myself: Oh, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Oh, are also on the faces of the people going by
I see friends shaking hands, oh, saying: How do you do?
They're really saying: I love you

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll know much more than I'll ever know, yes
And I think to myself (and I think to myself
What a wonderful world (what a wonderful world)

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky (the stair all around us)
Are also on the faces of the people going by (just tasting the view)
I see friends shaking hands, saying: How do you do? (in every single day, in everything we do)
What they're really saying is: I love you (in every time we say: I love you)

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow (in all those days that full of wonder)
They'll know much more than I'll ever know (hope returns like the stars in the night)
And I think to myself: What a wonderful world (sharing all their light, what a wonderful life)
Yes I think to myself: What a wonderful world (oh, oh, oh, sharing all of their light, what a wonderful life)
Oh, yeah
