"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 Bright blessed days... dark sacred nights 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... sayin'... How do you do They're really sayin'... I love you.
I hear babies cry... I watch them grow They'll learn much more... than I'll never know And I think to myself... What a wonderful world
Yeah... I think to myself... What a wonderful world"
-lyrics of the original song-
This song "What A Wonderful World", is the original of the great Louis Armstrong, was edited in 1967 and was written by Bob Thiele andGeorge David Weiss.
"What A Wonderful World" is a song full of optimism and melancholy with many versions of many artist like Joey Ramone, B.B King, Celine Dion, Rod Steward, and more.
Joey Ramone made this version in 2002 included in his album "Don't worry about me". Ramone gives to the song a very funny felling and a very Ramones sound.
This version of Stephen Bennett, is unplugged and without a doubt a jewel. Was played at the 3rd Annual International Harp Guitar Gathering. A good option for a Spring afternoon. I hope you like it.
Kenny G. is another interpreter of this timeless music. Not so well known is a medley by the artist Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, that goes by the name of "Somewhere over the rainbow - what a wonderful world", from the album "Facing the future" (or Facing Future, not sure). I got to know this song through a commercial spot here in Portugal.
