Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal?
Over the rim of the hills
Can't we sail away on a little dream?
And settle high on the crest of a thrill
[Verse 3]
Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely, lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
[Verse 4]
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stair way to the stars
Yes, we're climbing
Climbing to that stairway to the stars, stars, stars, stars
The sound of violins way out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us as we go drift, drift, drifting along
[Verse 5]
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal?
Over the rim of the hills
Can't we sail away on a little dream?
And settle high on the crest of a thrill
[Verse 6]
Keep building the stairway to the stars
A lovely  stairway to the stars
It would be heaven, heaven to climb  with you
