I've been down so low people look at me and they know They can tell something is wrong Like I don't belong Well, staring through a window standing outside there just to happy to care And I wanna be like them but I'll mess it up again I tripped them out when God kicked outside everybody's soul [Chorus:] And I know that it's a wonderful world But I cant feel it right now I thought I was doing well but I just want to cry now Well I know that its a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea But I can only see when you're here, here with me Sometimes I feel so full that it just comes spilling out It's uncomfortable to see I give it away so easily But if I had someone I would do anything and never, never, never, never let you feel alone I won't, I won't leave you on your own Who am I to dream, dreams are for fools, they always let you down [Chorus:] And I wish that I could make it better I'd give anything for you to call me Maybe just a little letter Oh it could start again [Chorus:] I know that its a wonderful world But I cant feel it right now I've got all the right clothes to wear I just wanna cry now I know that it's a wonderful world from the sky down to the sea But I can only see well when you're here, here with me And I know that it's a wonderful world When your with me
