What a Wonderful World is a song written by Bob Thiele (as “George Douglas”) and George David Weiss. It was first recorded by Louis Armstrong and released as a single in 1968.
Watch and listen to these two versions with splendid images from around the world. The first is Louis Armstrong, then a spoken word version by Sir David Attenborough.

What a Wonderful World – Lyrics
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, 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 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
Oh yeah.
