Life Is Wonderful (Live from Montalvo)

Well, it takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
And it takes some bad for satisfaction

Sing, ah-la-la-la-la-la-la life is wonderful
Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la life goes full circle
Ah-la-la-la life is wonderful
Ah-la-la-la-la

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn, brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what the love is
And it takes some fear before I trust
And it takes some tears to make it rust
And it takes the rust to have it polished

Shi-chea
Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la life is wonderful
Ah-la-ah-la-la-la-la life goes full circle
Ah-la-la-la life is wonderful
Ah-la-la-la love

It takes some silence to make sound
And it takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to show you care
It takes a hole to see the mountains

Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la life is wonderful
Ah-la-la-la-la-la-la life goes full circle
Ah-la-la-la life is wonderful
Ah-la-ah-la-la-la-la life is so full of
Fa-la-la-la-la-la life, you're wonderful
Ah-la-la-la-la-la life is meaningful
Hello, love, you're wonderful
Ah-la-la-la-la love

Oh, it is wonderful
And it is meaningful
