You took the part that once was my heart So why not take all of me? All of me, why not take all of me? Can't you see I'm no good without you?

Louis Armstrong - "What a Wonderful World"

Louis Armstrong - "What a Wonderful World"

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 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 never know And I think to myself what a wonderful world Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Ah said it's summertime
