Louis Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
The colors 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 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, yes

I see trees so green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies so blue and clouds so 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
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
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Things I loved about this world… things I enjoyed before getting brutally sick:
Amusement parks
Long walks with my music
Hiking with music
Swimming
Babysitting children and playing games/acting silly
Enjoying a drink & dinner with family and friends
Fancy dresses
Movie theatres and live theatre/concerts
Shopping with my mom
Cuddles with my husband
Joking around, laughing and talking
Sitting quietly working or reading a book
Planning a future
Vacations- sight seeing
Taking photos for the hell of it
Getting dressed up for the hell of it
Weddings, dance parties, clubs
Holidays and parties/ gatherings
Singing
Playing on swings
Cartwheels
Admiring and adoring yourself
Thinking about beautiful things
Enjoying a restful sleep
Tanning
Watering flowers
Admiring beauty and art
Going out for dinner
Coffeep
Being cosy and comfy
Being at peace in your body, mind and spirit ❤❤being happy to be alive
Oh how I’d give anything to be my old self again- happy, spunky and full of life, focus and energy. This truly is a wonderful world- when you’re healthy and not limited in what you can do. Life is precious and there is so much wonderful things this world has to offer- life is a garden to love, explore and adore. Don’t ever waste it or complain. If you have your health, you truly have it all.

“I waited patiently for the LORD;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust in the LORD.”-psalm 40:1-3
Your loved!❤️
