Stairway To The Stars 1935

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 03 Aug 2003

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.
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,
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.

When the instrumental piece "Park Avenue Fantasy" was
first composed by Matt Malneck and Frank Signorelli
in 1935, and Paul Whiteman recorded it, the middle strain
became so popular that four years later, in 1939,
astute Jack Robbins had Mitchell Parrish contrive lyrics
to the dominant melody. Thus emerged the very popular
"Stairway To The Stars".
