If I could see the world
through the eyes
of a child,
what a wonderful world
this would be.
There'd be no trouble and no strife,
just a big happy life
with a bluebird in every tree.
I could see right and wrong,
I could see good,
no bad.
I could see all the good things
in life I've never had.
If I could see the world through the eyes
of a child,
what a wonderful world
this would be.
If I could see the world through the eyes
of a child,
smiling faces would greet me all
the while.
Like a lovely work of art,
it would warm my weary heart,
just to see through the
eyes of a child.
I could see right and wrong,
I could see good, no bad.
I could see all the
good things in life I've never had.
If I could see the world through the eyes
of a child,
what a wonderful world
this would be.
