What A Wonderful World by George David Weiss and Bob Thiele — 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, the dark sacred night, and I think to myself What a wonderful world. The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky

About What A Wonderful World

"What A Wonderful World" is a beloved classic that brings a deep sense of gratitude and warmth to any gathering. While not a traditional liturgical hymn, its message of appreciating the simple, profound beauties of creation—green trees, blue skies, and the innocence of growing children—resonates perfectly with a spirit of thanksgiving.

For a choir, this piece offers a gentle moment of reflection during a concert, a special celebration, or a social gathering outside of Mass. The melody is conversational and relaxed, allowing the singers to focus on the storytelling. When we sing about friends shaking hands and saying "I love you," it reminds both the choir and the audience of the shared humanity and love that binds our communities together. It is a wonderful choice for a special arrangement that leaves everyone feeling uplifted and at peace.
