Stairway To The Stars
INTRO
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
CHORUS:
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
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 hills?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
Settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Let's build a stairway to the stars
A lovely 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
Yes we're climbing
Climbing to that stairway to the stars
Stars, stars, stars
The sound of violins
Way out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drift drift drifting along
Can't we sail away on a lazy daisy petal
Over the rim of the hills?
Can't we sail away on a little dream
Settle high on the crest of a thrill?
Keep building the stairway to the stars
A lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven
Heaven to climb with you.

Stairway To Heaven
Writers Robert Plant, Jimmy Page
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter
And it makes me wonder
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes there are two paths you can go by
but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for
And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

Last Chance On The Stairway
I dont remember quite how I met you, wasnt long ago
Just get a picture of sun, in your eyes,
The waves in your hair
Maybe its something said in a movie or you couldve said last night.
Just took me out on a limb
And I dont really know what Im doing here.
And sometimes Im caught in a landslide
My beats so in time, can you look at me
Im out of reach, Ill talk if it feels right
Ive had my last chance on the stairway.
Funny its just like a scene out of voltaire, twisting out of sight
cause when all the curtains are pulled back
Well turn and see the circles wet raced
Aint no game... (oooh)
When youre playing with fire
It doesnt seem right that we fight
So the party runs on all night
And sometimes Im caught in a landslide
My beats so in time can you look at me
Im out of reach Ill talk if it feels right
So nervous to say, tell me cant you see
If you want Ill fall out forever
I cant say no more... babe dance with me
And please dont say leave till later
Ive had my last chance on the stairway.
-
Wonder why... (wonder why oooh)
What makes me rise so high
Maybe its something they put in your perfume
Or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking
Oh, I dont even know what youre thinking
Dont even know what youre drinking
But it keep this heaven alive
(chorus)
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway
Last chance on the stairway...

Stairway To Heaven
The stairway to heaven
Lies way beyond my soul,
Far-away from my heart,
And out of my control.
As I pass each second,
Of every single day,
I take steps to travel,
This far and distant way.
The stairway to heaven
Leads to a final goal,
When earthly life's absorbed
Via blending of the whole.

Vanlose Stairway
Send me your picture
Send me your pillow
Send it through krishna
On the vanlose stairway
Send me your bible
Send me your gita
I want to reach you
On the vanlose stairway
And your stairway
Reaches up to the moon
And it comes right back
It comes right back to you
Send me some loving
Send me some kissing
You know what Im missing
On the vanlose stairway
On the vanlose stairway
Right there, hold it
And your stairway
Reaches up to the moon
And it comes right back
And it comes right back to you
Send me your Bible child
Send me your gita...

Stairway To Heaven
Theres a lady whos sure
All that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven.
Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And its whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If theres a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now,
Its just a spring clean for the may queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
Theres still time to change the road youre on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it wont go
In case you dont know,
The pipers calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How evrything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Stairway To The Bottom
Well youve started again
With the wife of a friend
On another night you hope you wont recall
And the wine that youre drinkin
Doesnt keep you from thinkin
Of the bitter taste that lingers in your soul
As you listen to your lies
Once again you realize
That she doesnt mean a thing to you at all
And I watch you climb that stairway
To the bottom
Every evening in that mirror on the wall
You take pride in deceiving
One who tried hard believin in you
Even after all the lies you told
But each lie that youve spoken
And each vow that youve broken
Was a new nail in the coffin of your soul
If you think someones cryin
For the love that is dyin
With the trust that you betray each time you fall
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
No ones watchin but that mirror on the wall
Look around you on that stairway to the bottom
No ones watchin but that mirror on the wall

Handicap Access
I have often been told, when I get to heaven I won't need my
wheelchair. That got me a wondering. If it's true that God don't
make mistakes, and He created me with s disability, then why won't
I need my wheelchair when I get to heaven? If I'm not a mistake
then there's nothing God needs to do to heal me. I have heard there's
a stairway to heaven, and my faith let's me believe that heaven
also got handicap access. Furthermore, I'm not worry whether or not
heaven's got handicap access. I just hope to get their when I pass
on. I was born with this disability and I'm going to die with it.
And if God allows me into heaven I have faith that the pearly gates
got handicap access.
Landscape #3
an up climb of a hill
you're no stranger to this kind of height
you have been there where you hold on to rocks and roots
and cling and grip and say
i want to live for another day
and this hill is my stairway
to heaven you tell yourself over and over again
you touch the clouds, white like the icing of the cake
you lick the fog and caress the passing wind with your palms
you keep the lines of your destiny intact
the cliffs never change somehow
many have died and soon you shall be
next.
up there at the top you shall find yourself
triumphant
lonelier perhaps and colder and so quiet
console yourself to all these blunders
you are nearer to God and that is nice enough.

To The Sky
One perfect morning i was all alone
Listening to the blaze of summer
Drifting
I was falling
I was floating in a golden haze
Breathing in the sky-blue sun
Of memories of other days
And in my dreams i was a child
Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
And i was floating through the colours of the sky
Up to the stars and angels
Up to heaven
Up forever
Up to heaven
Up forever
Turning in my climb
I looked down on a lake
Traced upon the water
There i saw your face
Sending recollection of the times we shared
Pushed on ever up into the sky
And in my dreams i was a child
Flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
And i was floating through the colours of the sky
Up to the stars and angels
Up to heaven
Up forever
Up to heaven
Up forever

My Stairway
MY STAIRWAY
There is a stairway
In my mind
Spiraling upward-
Ever Upward.
Upon my journey-
I sometimes tire
And must
Stop to rest.
At times,
I fall back a step
Or two,
But always,
I look upward
As I travel
On my journey.
Upward, I travel,
On that spiraling
Staircase-
Toward a reward.
The reward
Our Heavenly Father
Has promised
So long ago.
Just the twinkling
Of an eye.
A whole lifetime
for you and me.....
Only an instant
In Eternity............

After taking ninety-nine years to climb a stairway, the tortoise falls and says there is a curse on haste.
Stars
Stars, the eyes of the world
- A million love stories could tell.
Sweetest songs fall under their spell
And along with blue moon
Ring the softest bell.
Shooting stars
Gunned me down
Yet i fell without a sound
Your passion was so profound.
This aurora
From Interflora
I sent you in my dreams
As i watched in silver streams
Our starlight slipping away.
Stars, our memories collected in jars
That we keep for a rainy day,
To spread over our dismay
To hide our battle scars
- We ride the milky way.
Stars, your eyes stole diamonds bright
Took them from spectral night
To set my frozen heart alight.
Now reflecting strokes
Of pale blue light
On my canvas of pain
Where mute moon
Still calls us to meet again.
As eternity waits at rusty gates
For us to fade to grey
Our supernova was never over
As stars kissed our heaven today.

Heaven Is
Heaven is a woman
Dressed in blue
And heaven is knowing
Someone who is in love with you
Heaven is a television
Left on all day
And heaven is making love
And then running away
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is believing
What your eyes dont see
And heaven is christy canyon
Falling in love with me
Heaven in waking up
To be a millionaire
And heaven is spending the whole next day
Just walking on air
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
All these things you say and do
It doesnt mean that much to you
But all these things you said to me
The memories wont set me free
Heaven is a dream
When it wont come true
And heaven is the sky
When its always blue
Heaven is the girl
With short black hair
And heaven is a woman
With enough to spare
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is
And heaven is taking a holiday
And heaven is having you here to stay
And heaven is never ever saying sorry
And heaven is as easy as abc
And heaven is your eyes when theyre always blue
And heaven is just right here with you
Heaven is
Heaven is
Heaven is

Caroline I See You
Caroline, I see you
Standing on the stairway
Waiting for your bear there
Handy on the landing
Penny in my pocket
High enough to hold you
When I come back home to you tomorrow
You may well be angry
Ill for sure be hungry
Meet me in the middle
Make it melt like chocolate
Be my little baby
I take you down by the water
Some december morning
Take you from your family
Leave them with their longing
Take you by your hand
Somewhere on the sand. oh
Caroline I love you
Though Im late to say so
Hesitate to tell you
What will be your answer
Some december morning
Standing on the stairway
Caroline I see you

Oh Sweet Life
Oh sweet life
that seeps away too fast,
why oh why
can we not make it last?
Last until we've
lived it all,
last further than
that lonesome call.
It comes too soon
for we've not done
all we could
except for one.
We lived and breathed
and took life in.
Each new breath
was a chance to win
more time to know
how we did grow.
Our inner peace
was life's big goal
and all that peace
was praise for the soul.
Oh sweet life
you are our gift.
You move too quickly.
Your escape is swift.
And as eyes close
for the very last time
we accept the stairway
to the stars where we climb.

Night In The City
Light up light up
Light up your lazy blue eyes
Moons up nights up
Taking the town by surprise
Night time night time
Day left an hour ago
City light time
Must you get ready so slow
There are places to come from and places to go
Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
Colors go flashing in time
Take off take off
Take off your stay-at-home shoes
Break off shake off
Chase off those stay-at-home blues
Stairway stairway
Down to the crowds in the street
They go their way
Looking for faces to greet
But we run on laughing with no one to meet
Night in the city looks pretty to me
Night in the city looks fine
Music comes spilling out into the street
Colors go waltzing in time

When the Stars Go Blue - Tim McGraw
Dancin' when the stars go blue,
Dancin' when the evenin' fell,
Dancin' in your wooden shoes,
In a wedding gown.
Dancin' out on 7th street,
Dancin' through the underground,
Dancin' with a marionette,
Are you happy now?
(chorus)
Where do you go when you're lonely?
Where do you go when you're blue?
Where do you go when you're lonely,
I'll follow you.
When the stars go blue,
Stars go blue,
Stars go blue,
Stars go blue.
Laughin' with your pretty mouth,
Laughin' with your broken eyes,
Laughin' with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby.
(chorus)
