I see trees that are green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, ohh what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
But they're really saying, "I love you"

I see trees that are green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world


The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
But they're really saying, "I love you

I see trees of green and red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, oh what a wonderful world

I think to myself, ooh what a wonderful world

On September 17, 1996,[ at a benefit concert for her at The Bayou, she made her final public appearance, closing the set with "What a Wonderful World" in front of an audience of family, friends, and fans. Additional chemotherapy was ineffective, and Cassidy died on November 2, 1996, of melanoma, at her family's home in Bowie, Maryland.[ In accordance with her wishes, her body was cremated and the ashes were scattered on the lake shores of St. Mary's River Watershed Park, a nature reserve near Callaway, Maryland.

It's on youtube.

From what I understand, this is the last recording she ever made. It was recorded at a benefit concert in her honor shortly before she died of carcinoma. She came out with a walker and laid this down. Pretty damn good I think.

That did nothing for me I\'m afraid.

Variety is the spice of life but it is not quite the spice I'm looking for :(

I believe this was the last song she ever performed in public - at the Bayou in Georgetown.

Sounds more than a bit like Bonnie Raitt in her quiet ballads, but younger and having been through less.

If this is not her best, wow, I can't wait to hear more. Her vocals are crisp and her intonation is almost perfect.

Eva Cassidy\'s voice is so wonderful - but she has far better songs then this one. Don\'t discount her based on this remake - she is a gem.
