What a Wonderful World / What a Wonderful Life Lyrics

Everyday I wake up full of wonder
One more chance at a promising day
And I always say
What a wonderful life

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you

And I think to myself
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh a wonderful world

And I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The blessed day and the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
Oh, 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 crying
I watch thеm grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll еver know

And I think to myself
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
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 crying
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
