What A Wonderful World
Keane · Other Songs - Keane
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 crying, 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.
