What A Wonderful World
by Louis Armstrong
I see trees of green, 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 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 crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world

I am 83 now, and this song brings back so many memories.
Edit:Thank you all for the support, it has been quite hard for me lately because my wife passed away 8 months ago but I am getting better. And my health is fine! Thank you everyone for telling me "god bless you" and for saying kind things to me because it really makes my day. Have a fun and an amazing life, and make sure you make it count. I love all of you❤😊.
