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