What A Wonderful World
Ramones · Other Songs - Ramones
I see them bloom for me and you.
and I say to myself what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white.
bright sunny days, dark sacred nights,
and I think to myself what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow are so pretty in the skies.
Are also on the faces of people walking by.
I see friends shaking hands sayin' "how do you do?".
They're really saying "I love you".
I see 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.
And I say to myself what a wonderful world.
