What a Wonderful World

by Kenny G on saxophone
Sung by Louis Armstrong

This is one of my favorite songs. Louis Armstrong sings very clearly, so you might be able to understand the words without looking at the lyrics. The lyrics are printed below, but first try to understand without looking at them.

Lyrics

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 ever know
And I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
Yes I think to myself, What a wonderful world.
