Lyrics
Its a wonderful worldAnd you take and you give
And the sun fills the sky
In the space where you live
Its a day full of dreams
Its a dream of a day
And the joy that it brings
Nearly sweeps her away
Its a wonderful world
As the buildings fall down
And you quicken your step
til your feet leave the ground
And youre soaring above
All the sorrow below
And youre falling in love
With those you dont know
And your heart feels so wide
And your heart fills so strong
It was never a place
That you felt you belonged
Its a wonderful world
Full of wonderful things
And the people fall down
And abandon their dreams
(I hear him, hes talking out loud
Sometimes he whistles while walking
How could he know any better?
I weep for him, I weep for him now)
Its a wonderful world
Its a real crying shame
Cos shes hurting herself
In a violent way
And theres people she knows
That wont even try
And theyre trapped in their lives
Feeling terrified
And its in times like these
That she promised to call
But the scale of our love
Is diminished and small
Its a wonderful world
And she doesnt know why
She wakes up each day
And continues to cry
(Hes sleeping his troubles away
Hes finding it too hard to bear
Im with him every step of the way
I weep for him, I weep for him now)
Its a wonderful world
And you take and you give
And the sun fills the sky
In the space where you live
