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 her song
[Verse 2]
We'll hear the sound of violins
Way out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drifting along
[Verse 3]
Can't we sail away
On a lazy daisy petal
High over the rim of the hill?
Can't we sail away
On a little dream and settle
High on the crest of a thrill?
[Verse 4]
Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to Heaven
With you
Written by: Frank Signorelli, Matty Malneck, Mitchell Parish
