INTRO<br />

There's a silver trail of moonlight leading upward to the sky<br />

And the night is like a velvet lullaby<br />

There's a heaven of blue<br />

And we'll go there, just you and I<br />

<br />

<br />

Let's build a stairway to the stars<br />

And climb that stairway to the stars<br />

With love beside us to fill the night with a song<br />

<br />

We'll hear the sound of violins<br />

Out yonder where the blue begins<br />

The moon will guide us as we go drifting along<br />

<br />

CHORUS:<br />

Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal<br />

Over the rim of the hill?<br />

Can't we sail away on a little dream<br />

And settle high on the crest of a thrill?<br />

<br />

Let's build a stairway to the stars<br />

A lovely stairway to the stars<br />

It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Let's build a stairway to the stars<br />

A lovely stairway to the stars<br />

It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
