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
