It's a wonderful world And you take and you give And the sun fills the sky In the space where you live
It's a day full of dreams It's a dream of a day And the joy that it brings Nearly sweeps her away
It's a wonderful world As the buildings fall down And you quicken your step ‘til your feet leave the ground And you're soaring above All the sorrow below And you're falling in love With those you don't know
And your heart feels so wide And your heart fills so strong It was never a place That you felt you belonged
It's a wonderful world Full of wonderful things And the people fall down And abandon their dreams
(I hear him, he's talking out loud Sometimes he whistles while walking How could he know any better? I weep for him, I weep for him now)
It's a wonderful world It's a real crying shame Cos she's hurting herself In a violent way And there's people she knows That won't even try And they're trapped in their lives Feeling terrified And it's in times like these That she promised to call But the scale of our love Is diminished and small
It's a wonderful world And she doesn't know why She wakes up each day And continues to cry
(He's sleeping his troubles away He's finding it too hard to bear I'm with him every step of the way I weep for him, I weep for him now)
It's a wonderful world And you take and you give And the sun fills the sky In the space where you live
