Louis Armstrong’s most famous, and enduring, song is “What a Wonderful World” (1967), and claimed as his favorite.
About the song, he said: “Seems to me it ain’t the world that’s so bad but what we’re doing to it, and all I’m saying is: see what a wonderful world it would be if only we’d give it a chance. Love, baby, love. That’s the secret …”

(What a) Wonderful WorldSong by Louis Armstrong
-
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, sayin’, “How do you do?”
They’re really sayin’, “I love you.”I hear babies cryin’. I watch them grow.
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful worldYes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
