Wonderful World
Katie Melua & Eva Cassidy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see trees that are green red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I hear babies cry I watch them grow
And they'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself oh what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
But they're really saying I love you

I see trees that are green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself oh what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
But they're really saying I love you

I see trees of green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world





I think to myself oh what a wonderful world

ケイティさんは可愛い、元、クルド難民です。
だから・・・似合うのですよ。
ムーン・リバーのカバーの時には、やり過ぎだよ!とかの声もありましたが、北京オリンピックの頃のスリー・ミリオン・オブ・バイスぃクールなどのPVは、なぜだか?引き出物の蒼いお皿=ウエッジウッドの中国陶器との類似点のミステリアスな美人さんに、成長しました。
素敵な彼女です!(笑)
