Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World

What A Wonderful World performed by Louis Armstrong. (C) 1967 ABC

Lyrics:

I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and for 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
Are also on the faces
Of people going by

I see friends shaking hands
Saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying
"I love you"

I hear babies cry
I watch them grow
They'll learn much more
Than I'll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yeah

Louis Armstrong is born in 1901, abandonned by his father and with her mother forced to sell her body for a living. He's been raised by his grand-mother who was born as a slave. Yet no one reminded us in a better way that we live in a wonderful world. Thinking about it helps to put things in perspective.

Every time I lose faith in humanity I listen to this and a lil of it comes back.

[celalettinatalay]

The fact that a person whose life was spent with difficulties and suffering composed this song is an indication of an extraordinary personality..

My nephew passed away on the 22nd of June 2024 in a hospice. Later I sat alone in the room by his bedside. It was a beautiful sunny day. The balcony door was open and music was playing somewhere near by. I heard what a wonderful world start to play. I smiled and joined in with a couple of lines. Typing this at 4.54am two days later the 24th of June 2024. Smiling and reading comments while listening to it again.

A late night talk show host does regularly ask some guests, "What 1 song would they want to listen to for the rest of their life?" WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE, this song, is my 1 song. I'm a rather negative thinking 60+ yr old female. I'm on a regular basis working to be more of a positive person. Thank you to Mr. Louis Armstrong✝️🙏🏼💖

Louis Armstrong isn't dead, he's just in another wonderful world

Just had this played at my Brothers funeral today - 6th June 2024

Armstrong deserves to have a city named after him, a street named after him and a statue erected in his honor.

One of the most important songs ever made. In your darkest moments in life this song brings you light. I absolutely love his voice

RIP Louis Armstrong 1901 - 1971
Hope he knows that this song is still more popular than ever

[mikestrawn]

A golden man that makes everyone feel great with his words of wisdom though music. He is an icon that should be remembered missed!

8 minutes to 2022 and here I am alone in my small apartment thinking about my family that has been away from me for almost 2 years. but this song strangely brings me the same feeling as my mother's hug

[sidewayspagan]

My dad used to play this when I was young. It was my wife and my special song too. Now I've lost them both, this song is hard to listen to. It's very powerful, very beautiful and very sad.
EDIT: I wrote this feeling very sorry for myself, I never expected so many kind people to reach out and show support. Thanks everyone.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

His voice is so iconic, such a beautiful and timeless song.

[rxotmfrxotmf]

I love how he smiles so widely when he sings the words. He genuinely believes in the words of the song - something very rare and precious!
