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
