Description

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

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 added 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. 

What a Wonderful World (1967) 𝄞SunsetPiano Extra Verses 2025

This is a song we all know, 'What a Wonderful World,' but I've let it breathe in a new way. 

I've woven 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 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.

"What a Wonderful World" (Verse 1-3) written by Thiele and Weiss. Recorded by Louis Armstrong 1967.

LYRICS

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’ve found you:

Verse 3.2 

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, New stories unfold.

Verse 3.3 

I hear babies crying, I see what their future holds, 

They’ll shape the world, In ways I’ll never know.

Verse 6 

My heart still longs, Yet somehow I see,

 The world holds its wonder, And it still offers me.

Chorus And I sing to myself, "What a wonderful world."

Thanks for listening.
