I see those trees of green-
Those red roses to
But what do that have to do with me and you?
It's not a wonderful world
Beauty is lost when the skies of blue
Are cast by grey
The dark sacred night
Will be enjoyed alone for all in sight
The rainbows in the sky are hidden by the fog of life
Babies are crying, husbands losing their wives
All they learn in this place-
It's not a wonderful world
The colors of the scenery are lost to the blind
The sounds of the music, deaf ears find
Maybe its the pessimist in me
Or maybe its my grip on reality
The skies of blue, the clouds of white
Are hidden when life is one long night
Butterflies and rainbows lost in the dark
Strangers avoiding eachother in the park
And I don't know what to do-
When I can't remember my last "I love you,"
And all I know is-
It's not a wonderful world
No, its not a wonderful world
