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 <instrumental-chorus> Let's build a stairway to the stars a lovely stairway to the stars it would be heaven to climb to heaven with you </instrumental-chorus>
