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
Louis Armstrong
Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans. When that's where you left your heart. The moonlight on the bayou a creole tune that fills the air. I dream about magnolias in bloom and I'm wishin' I was there.
Louis Armstrong
We don't play slow and we don't play fast, we play half fast
Louis Armstrong
If ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out.
Louis Armstrong
I don't need words. It's all in the phrasing.
Louis Armstrong
It ain't whatcha say, it's the way howcha say it.
Louis Armstrong
