Lyrics

It takes a crane to build a crane. It it takes two floors to make a sto ry. And It takes an egg to make a hen. It takes a hen to make an egg. There is no end to what I’m say ing. It takes a thought to make a word, and it takes some words to make an ac tion. And it takes some work to make it work. It takes some good to make it hurt. It takes some bad for sat is fac tion. It takes a thought to make (Am)Ah, la, la, la, la, la, la. Life is won der ful. (G)Ah, la, la, la, la, la, la. Life goes full cir cle. Ah, la, la, la, la. Life is won der ful. (G)Ah, la, la, la, la. Mm. It takes a night to make it dawn. And it takes a day to make you (Dm)yawn, broth er. And it takes some old to make you (F)young. It takes some cold to know the sun. It takes the one to have the oth er. And it takes no time to fall in (Am)love. But it takes you years to (Dm)know what love is. And it takes some fears to make you (F)trust. It takes those tears to make it rust. It takes the dust to have it pol ished. Yeah. (Am)Ah, la, la, la, la, la. Life is won der ful. Ah, la, la, la, la, la. Life goes full cir cle. Ah, la, la, la, la, la. Life is won der ful. Ah, la, la, la. It is, it is so… And it is so… It takes some si lence to make (Am)sound. And it takes a loss be fore you (Dm)found it. And it takes a road to go no (F)where. It takes a toll to make you care. It takes a hole to make a (C)moun tain. (Am)Ah, la, la, la, la, la. Life is won der ful. Ah, la, la, la, la, la. Life goes full cir cle. Ah, la, la, la, la, la. Life is won der ful. Ah, la, la, la, la, la. Life is mean ing ful. Ah, la, la, la, la, la, la, la. (Dm)Life is won der ful. Ah, la, la, la, la, la. It is so won der ful. And it is so mean ing ful. It is so won der ful. It is mean ing ful. It is so won der ful. It is mean ing ful. It is ful.
