What A Wonderful World.....

And I think to myself.....






I see trees of green
Red roses too
I see them bloom
For me and you



Yes, the human beans are back in the field.... And all is rosy. Nothing could be finer (than to be in a care home diner....)

All this lock-in/up/down we have been yearning for the things we missed. And now, perhaps, we can see clearer. Yes we....

 can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Johnny Nash

It's a glorious morning....





And it's so good to bee






A live....

[Comma]





Even in the dark woods






Where the nettles blow






And old chestnuts die






Who would be a Red Admiral?






Or a Marbled White?






A Small Skipper?






A gatekeeper?







Or even a Large White?

[Size isn't everything....]








It's too much to swallow....






But it's better by far,
than being in a car.....







Or in some fairy shanty town....






Please don't be a teasel....






Give us a rye smile....






And move over darling.....






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"




Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world

Oh yeah

[Written by Bob Thiele and George Weiss]




Oh, yes I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I've been praying for
It's gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies

Johnny Nash






Oh Yeah!

Thanks Louis!

I remember, in 1971, I was on a train, and I saw a discarded newspaper with the headline Louis Armstrong dies.  It was 1971.  I was 20, you were 71, and no more.....  

It was a wonderful world

  1. Cricket's back... and, of course, England has just lost. But at least it's to the Windies rather than those damned Australians...
