I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise Lyrics by Joan Morris, William Bolcom

Songs by Ira and George Gershwin

[Verse]
All you preachers
Who delight in panning the dancing teachers
Let me tell you there are a lot of features
Of the dance that carry you through
The gates of Heaven
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 know
Simply say as you go
[Chorus]
I'll build a stairway to Paradise
With a new step every day!
I'm going to 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
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus]
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
