Artist/Band: Victoria Williams
Lyrics for Song: What A Wonderful World
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Victoria Williams



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 colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky


Are also on the faces of people going by


I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"


They're really saying "I love you"





I hear babies cryin', 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





Oh yeah


About What A Wonderful World

Victoria Williams delivers a soulful rendition of "What A Wonderful World" on her 1994 album *Loose*, blending her signature jazz-infused pop style with the song's optimistic melody. As a prominent figure in the New Orleans jazz revival, Williams transforms the classic composition into a vibrant, rhythmic statement that reflects her commitment to improvisation and live performance energy. The track exemplifies her ability to reinterpret well-known standards, infusing them with a contemporary R&B and funk sensibility while maintaining the original's emotional core. Released during a period of significant activity for her discography, this recording showcases her vocal warmth and musical versatility, contributing to her reputation as a dynamic interpreter of American songwriting traditions.
