    i love this songg. i guess 26 people will never make it over the rainbow.<3

  • This song takes me back to last year when one of my friends was singing it and now I think about how I didn't cherish what I had and now she's pregnant with a guy who doesn't care about her and is most likely to leave her before she gives birth and I'm friendless and to be left with my memories... but I can reminisce cant I?

  • this song is life

    

  • I wish John Lennon lived long enough to sing this song. Oh well, I'll put in a song request for when I die and go to heaven.

  • What movie is "What a Wonderful World" from?

  • What a nice song, always puts me in a good mood when I listen to this.

  • glee sings this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Meet Joe Black <3

  • This song will forever be the strongest memory of my best friend who just recently past away. Although he did not speak a word of english he liked this song and he would play it on the guitar and make me sing it, because he liked the "tune", every time I went to his house on the rooftop overlooking our hometown. Who would've wondered such a song which he did not understand was left for me to remember him as the brother I never had, until the day we meet again, I love you and miss you bro.

  • bear

  • This song was written specially for Judy Garland and she sang it for the first time at THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ 1939 it became her signture song

  • This version isn't exactly like the one in the wizard of oz. Some of the lyrics are missing, changed and mixed with "what a wonderful world" written by israel kamakawiwo'ole.

  • That's exactly who sings it, I don't know the year he did it, but it's just him, a ukulele, and he combined "Somewhere Over the Rainbow", and "What A Wonderful World" and what an amazing job he did in my opinion.

  • Adoro essa musica... ^^
