Stairway To the Stars

[Chorus]
Let's build a stairway to the stars
The lovely stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to Heaven with you

[Verse 1]
We'll hear the sound of violins
Out yonder where the blue begins
The moon will guide us
As we go drifting along

[Bridge]
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
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?

[Chorus]
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to Heaven with you

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge]
Can't we sail away on a little dream
And settle high on the crest of a thrill?

[Chorus]
Let's build a stairway to the stars
And climb that stairway to the stars
It would be heaven to climb to Heaven with you
It would be heaven to climb to Heaven with you

[Outro dialogue]
Ella Fitzgerald, there's only one of those
Thank you so much
I love you, thank you
Ella, for a long time, kind of rested in a cult category
Until in about 1946 or '47
She came out with a record that caught everyone's attention
Caught everyone's fancy
And from that record on, she became a megastar
The record was "Lady Be Good"
And it's the first record I ever heard that somebody sang scat on from beginning to end
I'd never heard a record like that before
It was a groundbreaker and it taught me a lot
And tonight, we great reverential love and tribute to the great Ella Fitzgerald
We're gonna haul out "Lady Be Good" and do it for you pretty much like she did
1, 2, 2, 2...
