INTROThere's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the sky |
|
And the night is like a velvet lullaby |
|
There's a heaven of blue |
|
And we'll go there, just you and |
|
ILet's build a stairway to the stars |
|
And climb that stairway to the stars |
|
With love beside us to fill the night with a song |
|
We'll hear the sound of violins |
|
Out yonder where the blue begins |
|
The moon will guide us as we go drifting along |
|
CHORUS:Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal |
|
Over the rim of the hill? |
|
Can't we sail away on a little dream |
|
And settle high on the crest of a thrill? |
|
Let's build a stairway to the stars |
|
A lovely stairway to the stars |
|
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you |
|
Let's build a stairway to the stars |
|
A lovely stairway to the stars |
|
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you |
