What a Wonderful World

Louis Armstrong. Need I say more? He is awesome! I love old music from the 50's. I am a big band and swing lover, I love the malt shop oldies. I love old music. Sometimes I think I love it more than I love Christian music! Here's an oldie but a goodie.
What a Wonderful World
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 ever know
and I think to myself
what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
Just think if everyone thought like this? So happy and makes me frolick in a meadow with flowers everywhere. It is so sugary sweet and I love it! So many songs have such heartbreaking words and so many songs full of hate and anger. It is nice to go back to a time when songs were full of love. Ahhh......take me to a time where women stayed at home and made homemade food and had cookies and milk for the kids when they came home from school and kids ran down the street to play with friends and husbands came home and kissed their wife on the cheek and read the newspaper while supper was cooking. Everyone sat at the table and ate together.......women volunteered at the school and ran the PTO and life was so much simpler. Take me back to that time....I would take it anytime.
