Lyrics:
I’ve seen the northern lights
The British countryside
Every single southern college town
Sat with important men
And felt like one of them
Stood at Cypress in between the clouds
Thought I'd seen all there is to see
Spent all this time chasing my dreams
But none of them came true till you were here with me
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things
I'd trade it all away to have you here with me
It’s a wonderful world
It’s a wonderful world
I’ve taken medicine
I bought an ottoman
I got a bigger house with bigger trees
I'm getting better at not blaming mom and dad
I'm trying to figure out what it all means
I thought that I'd done all the right things
I spent all this time building a dream
But none of it came true till you were here with me
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things
I'd trade it all away to have you here with me
It's a wonderful world
It's a wonderful world
It's a wonderful world
It's a wonderful world
I spent all this time chasing a dream
But none of it was true until you were here with me
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things
I'd trade them all away to have you here with me
I'd trade them all away to have you here with me

    As a dad of 3 girls of similar age to your little Jane this song resonates hard with me. I can have the worst day and just one hug from them makes me happy and forget everything I may be dealing with at the time. Sure there are frustrating times with them, but they make me happier than anything this world could offer me. Love the song, Ben!

    Watching right now with 3 of your biggest littlest fans! We took the whole family to see you in Houston and had a blast! My 5 year old son was so bummed that we couldn’t just go see Ben Rector perform every weekend and I had to explain to him how touring works. 😅 Thank you for the music and I hope you stop by again soon!

The men who drive me places, Duo, Love like this, Sunday etc all have the effect of showing the ordinary to be extraordinary. Love your work Ben. We all do.

    🔥💙And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. ‘ He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.” And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.” IT IS WRITTEN. Amen and Amen. 💙🔥

    I tell my 3 little girls every night as I tuck them in with a prayer and kiss on the forehead, "I love you more than everything! If I owned every home, pretty mountain, ski hill, boat, fancy car, restaurant, lake, river, (the list keeps going)... I would give them all away just to have you." Kids are the best. The worth of souls is beyond our comprehension. Great song!

Your a lucky man. Your wife is gorgeous, by the way! I look up stuff about you all the time. Your a good man, and make incredible music. Lately all the music the people my age (11) listen to is a bunch of inappropriate things, but my interest in music is your music! It has not only a good beat, but your words touch people in a beautiful way! You always make my day, and your music has gotten me through incredibly tough things! You deserve more credit for your music! I love it so much, I listen to you everyday. Great new songs lately!
