Key: D
Introduction:
Dm Fº
There's a silver trail of moonlight
Em7 A9
Leading upward to the sky
Dm Fº E7(5-)
And the night is like a velvet lullaby
E9
There's a heaven of blue,
Bb7 A4/7 A7
And we'll go there, just you and I
Melody
D A7 Am7 G#7 G7+
Let's build a stairway to the stars
Gº Bm
And climb that stairway to the stars
E9 Em7 A7 C7 B7 G#7 G7
With love beside us to fill the night with a song
D A7 Am7 G#7 G7+
We'll hear the sound of violins
Gº Bm
Out yonder where the blue begins
E9 Em7 A7 D6 Fº C#7
The moon will guide us as we go driving along
Bridge
F#m B9 Bm
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
F#m B9
Over the rim of the hill
Em A9 Am
Can't we sail away on a little dream
Em7 F# Bb7 A7 D
And settle high on the crest of a thrill
A7 Am7 G#7 G7+
Let's build a stairway to the stars,
Gº C7 Bm
A lovely stairway to the stars
E9 Dm7 G7 D6 B9 A7 D6/9
It would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
