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
|
