(Intro:) 
 
          D5             F5 
There's a silver trail of moonlight  
        E5           A5 
Leading upward to the sky,  
        D5             F5         E5 
And the night is like a velvet lullaby.  
           E5 
There's a heaven of blue,  
         Bb5                  A5    A5    A5 
And we'll go there, just you and  I. 
 
(Melody:) 
 D5    A5     A5                  G#5 G5 
Let's build a stairway to the stars,  
               G5               B5 
And climb that stairway to the stars  
            E5        E5      A5        C5   B5  G#5  G5 
With love beside us to fill the night with a song. 
  

D5    A5      A5             G#5 G5 
We'll hear the sound of violins,  
           G5                 B5 
Out yonder where the blue begins;  
              E5        E5   A5      D5   F5  C#5 
The moon will guide us as we go driving along. 
 
(Bridge:) 
F#5               B5        B5     
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal  
F#5                 B5 
Over the rim of the hill?  
E5                A5         A5 
Can't we sail away on a little dream  
          E5         F#5          Bb5    A5  A5  D5 
And settle high on the crest of a thrill? 
  

     A5      A5                G#5 G5 
Let's build a stairway to the stars, 
         G5            C5   B5 
A lovely stairway to the stars;  
            E5       D5     G5        D5  B5  A5  A5  D5    
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you.
