Stairway to Heaven (2023)

[Intro: Dolly Parton]
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Mm-hmm
Oh

[Verse 1: Dolly Parton]
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's 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, she's buying a stairway to heaven
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know words sometimes have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

[Refrain: Dolly Parton]
Ooh, it makеs me wonder
Ooh, it makes mе wonder

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton]
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

[Refrain: Dolly Parton]
Ooh, it makes me wonder (Makes me wonder)
Ooh, it makes me wonder (Makes me wonder)

[Verse 3: Dolly Parton]
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 forests will echo with laughter

[Interlude: Dolly Parton]
Woah-woah-woah-woah-woah

[Verse 4: Dolly Parton]
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

[Refrain: Dolly Parton]
And it makes me wonder
Oh, it makes me wonder (Makes me wonder)

[Verse 5: Dolly Parton]
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies upon the whispering wind?

[Bridge: Dolly Parton]
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven

[Outro: Dolly Parton]
And as we walk 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 is one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Stairway
Stairway
Stairway
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
