Dm Fdim
There's a silver trail of moonlight
Em7 A9
Leading upward to the sky

And the night is like a velvet lullaby

There's a heaven of blue,
Bb7 A4/7 A7 A7/13-
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 driving along

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

And settle high on the crest of a thrill

Let's build a stairway to the stars,

A lovely stairway to the stars
