What a Wonderful World - with Spoken Introduction...


Sing by Louis Armstrong, with spoken words of introduction...

The background of this song was in the United States of 60s, in that time, the everyday life was increasingly racial, and politically charged. The Negroes had no social status in the country, marginalized and discriminated. This song gave a hopeful and optimistic tone with regard to the future, with reference to babies being born into the world and having much to look forward to... a sense of promising... a sense of change...for a better world!

Now, we find racial issues arising, is happening in Malaysia! With this day of birth, 6th of June, let share our wish for this earth, to be a wonderful world to live! Let this song inspires and encourages us to look forward for a better Malaysia. Let this be my birthday song, to remind us: Don't give up hope! Change! Yes, we can...

I sincerely wish everyone be well, happy and peaceful... on this special day...And share this song of change for everyone...

Lyrics of What a wonderful world - Louis Armstrong.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and 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 crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
