What a Wonderful World

Words & Music by George David Weiss and Bob Thiele

The brightness of day. I like the dark and I

Think to myself

What a wonderful world

 

Solo 1: The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

Solo 2: Are also on the faces of people passing by

 

I see friends shaking hands saying, “how do you do?”

They’re really saying,_____ “I____ I  love you”

I hear babies cry and I watch them grow

They’ll learn much more than we’ll know

And I think to myself

What a wonderful world,_________
