What A Wonderful World
Louis ArmstrongOriginal | Medley Imagine/What a wonderful world by Barbra Streisand |
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD Some of you young folks been saying to me, hey pops, what do you mean what a wonderful world? How bout all them walls all over the place? Ya call them wonderful? And how bout hunger and pollution? That ain't so wonderful either. But how bout listening to old pops for a minute. Seems to me it ain’t the world that’s so bad but what were doing 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 be better That’s what old pops keeps saying. I see trees of green, red roses too 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 colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky Are also on the faces of people going by I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?" They're really saying "I love you" I hear 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 | WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try No Hell below us Above us, only sky Imagine all the people living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion, too Imagine all the people living life in peace With 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 a rainbow So pretty in the sky Are also on the faces Of the people strolling by I see friends shaking hands, saying "How do you do?" I think they're really saying, "I love you" You may say that I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one Oh, I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man I hear babies cry, I watch them grow They will learn much more Than I'll never know I see trees of green, red roses too I see them bloom, for me and for you And I think to myself What a wonderful world Yes, I think it could be Such a wonderful world Imagine Oh, imagine Oh, just imagine |
