 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
