I WONDER
(Samuel M. Lewis / George W. Meyer / Pete Wendling)

Dickie Valentine - 1955
Jane Froman - 1955
George Beverly Shea - 1955


I wonder who paints the skies so blue
Who makes the snow flakes white
Who wakes the sun up every day
And lights the stars at night

Who perfumes all the roses
Early in the spring
And tells each little robin
Just what melody to sing

I wonder how each mother knows
What baby tries to say
Why little children learn to walk
And someday walk away

I wonder why the rainbow
Follows rain and thunder
I wish that I could tell you why
But I can only wonder
