069 - What A Wonderful World
Verse 1
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you,
and I think to my-self
what a won-der-ful world.
Verse 2
I see skies of blue and clouds of white,
the bright bles-sed day, the dark sac-red night,
and I think to my-self
what a won-der-ful world.
Bridge
The col-ours of the rain-bow, so pret-ty in the sky
are al-so on the fac-es of peo-ple go-in’ by,
I see friends shak-in’ hands, say-in’ ‘How do you do?’
They’re real-ly say-in’ ‘I love you’
Verse 3
I hear ba-bies cry, I watch them grow
they’ll learn much more than I’ll ev-er know
and I think to my-self
what a won-der-ful world (higher pitch)
Yes, I think to my-self
what a won-der-ful world.
[8 x Bar Instrumental]
Verse 3 repeat
I hear ba-bies cry, I watch them grow
they’ll learn much more than I’ll ev-er know
and I think to my-self
what a won-der-ful world (higher pitch)
