"What A Wonderful World" lyrics
"What A Wonderful World"
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 cry
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
Oh yeah

"What A Wonderful World" was the biggest-selling hit in the UK in 1968.
Being used in the film "Good Morning, Vietnam" in 1987, the song was re-released almost 20 years after its initial release in 1968. In 1968, it charted only at number 116, but this time in went to 32. The curious thing is that the film is set in 1965, two years before the song was first released.
Louis Armstrong's recording was inducted in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
