Lyrics for Song: What A Wonderful World
Lyrics for Album: Loose [1994]



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' "What A Wonderful World" stands as a standout track on her 1994 album *Loose*, blending her signature indie-folk sensibilities with a classic songwriting structure. While the title evokes the iconic Frank Sinatra standard, Williams reimagines the material through a lens of intimate storytelling and acoustic warmth, characteristic of her early discography. The recording captures the raw, unpolished energy of her live performances, reflecting the DIY ethos that defined her career in the mid-90s. This song exemplifies her ability to reinterpret well-known melodies into fresh, personal narratives without relying on direct cover conventions. It serves as a bridge between her earlier experimental works and the more polished sound she would develop in subsequent releases like *Musings Of A Creekdipper*. By focusing on lyrical clarity and melodic simplicity, the track remains a staple of her catalog, showcasing her commitment to songcraft over production gloss.
