Ballad of the Wonderous World

That Whispers Hope through Joy and through Pain

𝄞SunsetPiano 29 Verses 2025. (v30) 11/10/2025 0033

(Based on 1967 song by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss. Made Famous by Louis Armstrong.)

This ballad tries to show that the world can be full of joy even when it's shadowed by sorrow. You’ll hear the refrain line—'I hear babies cry'—repeated with a few variations. It’s a line that reflects a deep, complicated part of my lonely story.
I've found that even in that pain, “my heart still longs, the world’s still wonderous.”

♫ Verse 1 I see trees of green, Red roses too. /
I see them bloom, For me and you.

♫ Verse 2 I see skies of blue, And clouds of white. /
The bright blessed days, and the cold dark nights.

♫ Verse 3 My nights are long, my heart feels sore, /
World whispers softly, “so much beauty & more.”

♫ Verse 4 I'm alone on this journey, so weary, I find,
/The world's wonderous marvels, quiet my mind.

♫ Verse 5 I hear babies cry, Watch them grow. /
(Baby Refrain Verse 1) They'll learn much more, Than I'll ever know.

♫ Verse 6 Whisper of dreams, That have yet to come true, /
My future would be brighter, if I find you.

♫ Verse 7 I see lonely nights, and days without end, /
The hope for a partner, the world will not send.

♫ Verse 8 I watch candles burn, flames glowing bright, /
My room is empty, each cold, endless night.

♫ Verse 9 A sunrise is painting, The heavens in gold, /
A new day begins, new stories unfold.

♫ Verse 10 My heart still longs, Yet somehow, I see, /
The world holds its wonder, And it still offers me.

♫ Verse 11 I hear stories told, of joy and of pain, /
Life’s fleeting moments, are like drops in the rain.

♫ Verse 12 Hands reach out, with kindness they give, /
Reminding my heart, there’s still reason to live.

♫ Verse 13) I hear babies crying, I see what their future holds, /
(Baby Refrain Verse 2) They’ll shape the world, I’ll never know.

♫ Verse 14 Silence surrounds me, dark shadows remain, /
There’s sorrow in music, and grace in pain.

♫ Verse 15 Suffering haunts me, my burdens grow tall, /
World still feels wondrous, in spite of it all.

♫ Verse 16 I walk in sorrow, life’s truths are revealed, /
The gift of existence shouldn't be a battlefield.

♫ Verse 17 I ache for the love, I may never obtain, /
World whispers; "Hope, through joy & through pain."

♫ Verse 18 I see friendships bloom, I still go astray, /
The weight on my soul seems to be drifting away.

♫ Verse 19 I watch families gather, their tables are full, /
The ache in my chest, is quiet and cruel.

♫ Verse 20 I hear babies cry, I see their bright eyes glow, /
(Baby Refrain Verse 3) They’ll dream of worlds, I’ll never know.

♫ Verse 21 I hear voices sing, soft lullabies, /
Songs full of hope, beneath endless diamond skies.

♫ Verse 22 I see children laugh, then stumble and fall, /
Learning through pain, answering life's call.

♫ Verse 23 I hear babies crying, I think; "what a great life"/
(Baby Refrain Verse 4) Joyous and sweet are my dream for a wife.

♫ Verse 24 I hear gentle prayers, I whispered at night, /
Carrying deep sorrow, yet burning with life.

♫ Verse 25 People smile, not burdened with cares, /
Strength of some spirits, is so wondrous and rare.

♫ Verse 26 I hear footsteps fade, of those gone before, /
Echoes remind me life’s worth so much more.

♫ Verse 27 I see kindness bloom, in places so small, /
Those tiny acts of love, feel the greatest of all.

♫ Verse 28 I hear laughter ring out, silence descends, /
Life is always beginning to end.

♫ Verse 29 I see life fleeting, slipping from my grasp, /
Leaves me with wonder, how long will it last?

What a Wonderful World Extra Verses 2025

Thank you for being here. I'm playing a very special arrangement of 'What a Wonderful World.'

What a Wonderful World" is a song that holds so much meaning, but in this arrangement, I wanted to let sing it in a new way.

I’ve added in three new verses and reimagined the original song to create a version that is both deeply personal and still full of wonder.

This is a song about finding joy even when it's shadowed by sorrow and I hope you'll come with me as I find the beauty that exists even in the midst of grief.

This beautiful song was written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss and recorded by the legendary Louis Armstrong in 1967.

In this version, I've gently reshaped the lyrics to tell a more personal story—a story touched by joy and shadowed by sorrow.

I've woven in new verses, including a repeated line from the original: 'I hear babies cry.'

This line has a deep and complicated meaning for me, and I wanted to give it a space to breathe in this song.

My hope is that it will lead you to the final verse, which is about finding beauty and wonder even when your heart still longs for something more.

Thank you for listening.

🎼 Let compassion be your song and kindness your lyrics. 🎶

🌅 Live with compassion, play with passion, and spread positivity. 🎸

Thank you for sharing your deeply personal and meaningful work. This revised intro aims to be spoken smoothly and with emotion, setting the stage for your performance.

Option 1 (Short and Sweet)

"Hello everyone. This song is called 'What a Wonderful World,' but it's a version with a new heart—my heart. I've added a few new verses that explore how the world can be both wonderful and painful at the same time. The line 'I hear babies cry' is especially meaningful to me; I repeat it a few times to acknowledge a deep loss in my life. Yet, in the end, I found that even with that pain, I can still see the wonder in the world. I hope you feel that journey with me."

Option 2 (More Poetic and Expressive)

Thanks for being here. This is a song we all know, 'What a Wonderful World,' but I've let it breathe in a new way. I've added in some verses of my own, and in doing so, I've tried to show that the world can be full of joy even when it's shadowed by sorrow.

You’ll hear a line—'I hear babies cry'—repeated with a few variations. It’s a very personal line for me; it reflects a a deep, complicated part of my story. But I've found that even in that pain, my heart still longs, and the world still holds its wonder.

So I hope you’ll join me on this journey, and in the end, find your own wonder in the world.

So extra verses added and verse 3 reimagined to echo throughout the song. I also hold back the famous line, “What a Wonderful World,” until the moment it feels most earned—when it finally rises with meaning that reflects my own journey.

Option 3 (Direct and Vulnerable)

"Hi everyone. Today I'm playing 'What a Wonderful World,' but this isn't the version you know. It’s a deeply personal arrangement with new verses I’ve written. The original song has a line that says, 'I hear babies cry,' and it's a very difficult line for me. It reminds me of a painful part of my life. You'll hear me repeat it in different ways as I work through that sadness. But I wanted to share this because even in my pain, I've come to see that life can still offer beauty and hope. This song is about holding both the pain and the wonder at the same time. Thank you for listening."

please revise 2nd time, this intro about this song I am still working on composing and writing. please keep all the ideas, just make it to be smooth talking to say out loud before I sing.

video intro summary of original song plus my soulful edition. I repeat my favorite line "I hear babies cry" 3 times with variation as that is a regretful tragedy of my life. I want babies, but I likely won't ever be healthy enough again. Also I like how despite my pain, I still have a positive ending verse " My heart still longs, Yet somehow I see, The world holds its wonder, And still offers me."

I also hold back the famous title line until the end, saving it for the moment when it truly carries weight for me. These changes let the song reflect my own life, experiences, and state of mind more honestly.

Do you want me to make it sound more artistic and poetic (like liner notes) or more direct and explanatory (like a YouTube description)?

Got it — I’ll give you two versions of your description: one artistic/poetic and one direct/explanatory.

🎵 Artistic / Poetic Version

In this arrangement, I let What a Wonderful World breathe in a new way. The lyrics are gently reshaped, with three new verses woven in, and verse three reimagined to echo throughout the song. I hold back the famous line, “What a Wonderful World,” until the moment it feels most earned—when it finally rises with meaning that reflects my own journey. This version is personal: touched by joy, shadowed by sorrow, yet still reaching for wonder.

📖 Direct / Explanatory Version

Verse 1

I see trees of green, Red roses too.
I see them bloom, For me and you.

Verse 2

I see skies of blue, And clouds of white.
The bright blessed day,The cold dark night.

Verse 3

I hear babies cry, Watch them grow.
They'll learn much more, Than I'll ever know.

Verse 4

The whisper of dreams, That have yet to come true,
Our future is bright, Because I have you,
And I think to myself, "What a wonderful world."

Verse 3 mod 1

I hear babies cry, I see their bright eyes glow,
They’ll dream of worlds, I’ll never know.

Verse 5

A sunrise is painting, The heavens in gold,
A new day begins, A new story unfolds,
And I think to myself, "What a wonderful world."

Verse 3 mod 2

I hear babies cry, I see the future show,
They’ll shape the world, I’ll never know.

Verse 6

My heart still long, Yet somehow I see,
The world holds its wonder, And still offers me.
And I think to myself, "What a wonderful world."
