Davis Islands is "A Wonderful World"

Music by George David Weiss
with lyrics created by Connie Gee of Daybreak Band

As I cross my favorite bridge at the end of the day, I’m greeted by the glorious wonders of Davis Islands my wonderful world…

I see trees of green, waters so blue,
a warm welcome home for me and for you,
And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.

I pass our walking trails and bicycle paths,
doggy parks and boat launching ramps,
And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.

The twinkling of old street lamps so calming in the night,
my neighbors’ greeting neighbors and everything feels right,
little boys, little girls running home to greet dad,
grandparents smile for all they have.

Our quaint little shops in the center of town,
have all that you need from Band-Aids to gowns
And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.

You can dine outside, food beyond your dreams,
have your dessert at Java & Cream.
And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky,
are clearly on the faces of neighbors passing by.
I see friends meeting friends saying how do you do,
they’re really saying I care about you.

As I close my eyes to sleep the night,
I know that I’m safe and under God’s light.
And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.
And I say to myself, what a wonderful world.
