Mel Torm — 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...
