I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise Lyrics by Georges Guétary

An American in Paris (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

1951

(Verse)
Une chanson
C'est Paris
C'est Montmartre
C'est Robinson
C'est le jour qui je volerai pendant qu'un oiseau
Car l'amour est là à mon coeur
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 today!
You'll find it nice
The quickest way to paradise
When you practice
Here's the thing to do
Simply say as you go
(Chorus)
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day!
I'm gonna get there at any price;
Stand aside, I'm on my way!
I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair
Shoes!
Go on and carry me there!
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step every day
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step ev'ry day!
I'm gonna get there at any price;
Stand aside, I'm on my way!
I've got the blues
And up above it's so fair
Shoes!
Go on and carry me there!
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step every day
With a new step every day!
