What A Wonderful World

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Bright blessed day
And the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
But 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 see them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow
So pretty in the sky
But also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying how do you do
They're really saying, oh I love you
I hear babies crying
I watch 'em grow
They'll learn much more than I will ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yeah, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world
