Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
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
Chorus
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
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
