What a Wonderful World

Some of you young folks been saying to me
"Hey pops, what you mean what a wonderful world?
How about all them wars all over the place?
You call them wonderful?
And how about hunger and pollution?
That ain't so wonderful either"

Well, how about listening to old pops for a minute?
Seems to me, it ain't the world that's so bad
But what we're doin' to it
And all I'm saying is, see, what a wonderful world it would be
If only we'd give it a chance
Love, baby, love
That's the secret, yeah

If lots more of us loved each other
We'd solve lots more problems
And then this world would bе a gasser
That's what ol' pops keeps saying

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see thеm 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, 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
Oh, yes
