Stairway To The Stars
Kenny Burrell · Other Songs - Kenny Burrell
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
