我第一次听，就是这个在阿姆斯特丹的版本。当时就很喜欢，听了很多遍。过了很久，再次听，依然喜欢。
It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
And 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
Singing la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
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
And 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 love is
And it takes some fears before I trust
And it takes those tears to make it rust
But it takes the rust to have it polished
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life you go full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la
嘴唇振动发出的节奏（我以为是萨克斯）
It takes some slience to make sound
And it takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
And it takes a toll to show you care
And 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 you go full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is so full love
Ah la la la la la la life your wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful
Hello love
You are wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life it is so
And it is so
