What a Wonderful World中文歌词：
我看见绿树和红玫瑰
我看见他们为你我开放
我情不自禁地想到，这是一个多么美妙的世界
天上的彩虹的颜色如此美丽
照映在过往人们的脸上
我看见朋友们握手问好
他们在说：我爱你！
我听见婴儿哭泣，看着他们长大
他们学到的东西将远胜于我
我情不自禁地想到，这是一个多么美妙的世界！
我情不自禁地想到，这是一个多么美妙的世界！
我看见朋友们握手问好
他们在说：我爱你！
我听见婴儿哭泣，看着他们长大
他们学到的东西将远胜于我
我情不自禁地想到，这是一个多么美妙的世界！
我情不自禁地想到，这是一个多么美妙的世界！
What a Wonderful World英文歌词:
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 shaking hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see friends shaking hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
