Lyrics to "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 my self, what a wonderful world.
Louis Armstrong
I see skies of blue and the clouds of white
the bright blessed day and the dark sacred night
and I think to myself, what a beautiful world
Billie Holiday
Ill be seeing you:
Ill be seeing you, in old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day though
In the small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousal
The chest nut tree, the wishing well

Gwendolyn Bennett
Some things are very dear to me - Such things as flowers bathed by rain Or patterns traced upon the sea... But dearer far then all surmise are sudden tear drops in your eyes
