louis armstrong's wise words
Spoken intro to "What a Wonderful World" (1970 version)
Some of you young folks been saying to me, "Hey Pops, what you mean 'What a wonderful world'? How about all them wars all over the place? You call them wonderful? And how about hunger and pollution? That aint so wonderful either." Well how about listening to old Pops for a minute. Seems to me, it aint the world that's so bad but what we're doin' to it. And all I'm saying is, see, what a wonderful world it would be if only we'd give it a chance. Love baby, love. That's the secret, yeah. If lots more of us loved each other, we'd solve lots more problems. And then this world would be better. That's wha' ol' Pops keeps saying. Yeah!
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see em bloom, for me and for you
And I think to myself, What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
Bright blessed days, the dark sacred nights
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of a 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 sayin', I love you
I hear babies cry, I watch them growThey'll learn much more, than I'll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
(instrumental break)
The colors of a rainbow,
So pretty, in the sky
Are there on the faces,
Of people, going by
I see friends shaking hands,
Sayin, 'how do you do?"
They're really sayin',
*Spoken* I love you
I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow
*Spoken* you know their gonna learn,
A whole lot more than I'll never know
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself,
What a wonderful world... (voice trilling off..)
