Wonderful World Lyrics
I’ve been down so low, people look at me and they know
They can tell something is wrong, like I don’t belong
Well, staring through a window, standing outside
They’re just too happy to care tonight
Wanna be like them, but I’ll mess it up again
I tripped my way in, got kicked outside
And everybody saw
And I know that it’s a wonderful world, but I can’t feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well, but I just wanna cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, from the sky down to the sea
I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
Sometimes I feel so full of love, it just comes spilling out
It’s uncomfortable to see, I get away so easily
But if I had someone, I would do anything
Never never never let you feel alone
I won’t, I won’t leave you on your own
Who am I to dream? Dreams are for fools
They let you down
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, but I can’t feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well, but I just wanna cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, from the sky down to the sea
I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
And I wish that I could make it better
I’d give anything for you to call me
Maybe just a little letter
Oh it could start again
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, but I can’t feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well, but I just wanna cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, from the sky down to the sea
I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
Oh, and I know that it’s a wonderful world, I can’t feel it right now
I got all the right clothes to wear, I just wanna cry now, cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, from the sky down to the sea
I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
And I know that it’s a wonderful world
When you’re with me
They can tell something is wrong, like I don’t belong
Well, staring through a window, standing outside
They’re just too happy to care tonight
Wanna be like them, but I’ll mess it up again
I tripped my way in, got kicked outside
And everybody saw
Well I thought that I was doing well, but I just wanna cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, from the sky down to the sea
I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
It’s uncomfortable to see, I get away so easily
But if I had someone, I would do anything
Never never never let you feel alone
I won’t, I won’t leave you on your own
Who am I to dream? Dreams are for fools
They let you down
Well I thought that I was doing well, but I just wanna cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, from the sky down to the sea
I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
I’d give anything for you to call me
Maybe just a little letter
Oh it could start again
Well I thought that I was doing well, but I just wanna cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, from the sky down to the sea
I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
I got all the right clothes to wear, I just wanna cry now, cry now
Well I know that it’s a wonderful world, from the sky down to the sea
I can only see it when you’re here, here with me
When you’re with me

my god i have never heard a song that sums myself up this much. the lyrics to this song are just stunning, and i think the song itself is pretty selfexplanatory
i think this is a beautiful song, saying how the world is wonderful but without that person you just don't see it. one of my favs!!
I absolutely love this song and have since I got the album. Now it's coming out on single!
I relate to this song in such an extreme way it's madness.
I don't get that bit in the video where that girl's in the room, going crazy and everything. can someone explain pleaaase?
LOVE this song xD
"Wanna be like them, but I’ll mess it up again"
I can never sing along this part properly cos' it just makes me smile so wide I can't even sing!
little_miss_failure, I feel exactly the same, it sums me up extremely well too. One of the best songs I've ever listened to.
to me, this song is pretty much about a guy who always sees the possitives in life and loves the world his in, but since this girl had left, things went from colour to black and white, and he needs her back soon becuz hes close to giving up cuz shes the happiness in his life...
This song is GREAT!!And it's all about having that right person by your side...Otherwise,you can't enjoy all the wonderful things in life..Lyrics are funtastic, and they really moved me.The best part is:"who am I to dream,dreams are for fools,they let you down"That really made me cry...:))
When this song first came out, I could relate to it so much, I just used to think yep, I understand!
Then other events happened in my life and I listen to the first two lines of the chorus,
And I know that it’s a wonderful world, but I can’t feel it right now Well I thought that I was doing well, but I just wanna cry now
And now everytime I hear them I'm like I don't feel it, and I do just wanna cry, no matter how well it appears I'm doing!
didnt louis armstrong make this song ?
