IF I COULD SEE THE WORLD
(THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD)

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 nor wrong,
I could see good nor 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 nor wrong,
I could see good nor 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!
