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 starsA lovely stairway to the starsIt would be heaven to climb to heaven with youLet's build a stairway to the starsA lovely stairway to the starsIt would be heaven to climb to heaven with you
