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

lovely rendering of this tune in the scene in some like it hot when Tony Curtis and Marilyn are on board his boat

When I first heard Johnny Mathis sing this absolutely beautiful song, it gave me chills. All of his songs are beautifully sung and the musical arrangements are magical. Now THIS is HEAVENLY MUSIC. I also love his arrangement of Oh Holy Night.
