And I think to myself, what a wonderful world…

I have loved this song for years, so why not share it with you? I get my CD out every now and then.  It is a collection of songs about love and peace in the world, and it lifts my spirits, I feel hopeful, loving, sentimental.  The song, What a Wonderful World, has been playing over and over several times each day as I drive to and from work.  I feel very connected to life and love when I really listen to the lyrics.  Makes me think of babies, puppies, newlyweds and all other sweet scenes of life.  I sing along…I encourage you to do the same.  It’ll make ya’ feel good!  I knew the Internet would not let me down.  I found the lyrics, and I found a beautifully done You Tube video.  So here it is, with Louis Armstrong doing the song proud.  Can’t you just see his big toothy grin as he sings! (my age is showing)  Perfect.  Just Perfect – for all nature lovers, people lovers and lovers of life.

What a Wonderful World by Thiele, Robert and Weiss, George David

I see trees of green, red roses too

I see them bloom for me and yourselves

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, sayin’ “How do you do?” They’re really sayin’ “I love you”

I see 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
