INTRO
There'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 I
Let'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
