Lyrics
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars, thank you
It would be heaven
To climb to heaven with you
We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drifting along
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
High on a crest of a hill?
Can't we sail away on a little rim
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
And climb that stairway to the stars
Yes, we're climbing
Climbing to the stairway to the stars, stars, stars, stars
Sound of violins
Way out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drift, drift, drifting along
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
High on the crest of a hill?
Can't we sail away on a little rim
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Keep building a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven
Heaven to climb with you
Thank you
Writer(s): Mitchell Parish, Matt Malneck, Frank Signorelli
