i'll build a stairway to paradise

all you preachers

who delight in panning the dancing teachers

let me tell you there are a lot of features

of the dance that carry you through

the gates of heaven. it's madness

to be always sitting around in sadness

when you could be learning the steps of gladness. you'll be happy when you can do

just six or seven;

begin to day!

you'll find it nice

the quickest way to paradise. when you practise

here's the thing to do

simply say as you go. i'll build a stairway to paradise

with a new step ev'ry day!

i'm gonna get there at any price;

step aside

i'm on my way!

i've got the blues

and up above it's so fair. shoes! come on and carry me there!

i'll build a stairway to paradise

with a new step every day. ok

with a new step every day. i've got the blues

and up above it's so fair. shoes! come on and carry me there!

i'll build a stairway to paradise

with a new step every day. i've got the blues

and up above it's so fair. shoes! get up and carry me there!

i'll build a stairway to paradise

with a new step every day.
