What a Wonderful World

What a Wonderful World

  • Some of you young folks been saying to me, "Hey Pops, what you mean 'What a wonderfulworld'? How about all them wars all over the place? You call them wonderful? And how about hunger and pollution? That ain't so wonderful either."
  • Well how about listening to old Pops for a minute. Seems to me, it ain't the world that's so bad but what we're doin' to it. And all I'm saying is, see, what a wonderful world it would be if only we'd give it a chance.
  • Love baby, love. That's the secret, yeah.
  • ?If lots more of us loved each other, we'd solve lots more problems. And then this world would be better. That's wha' ol' Pops keeps saying.

Spoken intro to "What a Wonderful World" (1970 version)


I heard this song for the first time when I was about 6. It wasn't until I was a teenager that I realized the verse was NOT 'The bright blessed day, and the dogs say goodnight."
