Sarah Vaughan - I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise lyrics

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 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 Every new step Helps a bit, but any old kind of two-step Does as well; it don't matter what step you step If you work it into your soul You'll get to Heaven Get busy Dance with Maud the countess or just plain Lizzy Dance until you're blue in the face and dizzy When you've learned to dance in your sleep You're sure to win out In time you'll get Saint Vitus dance Which beats the latest thing from France Take no chances on this Paradise Let me give you advice [Chorus: x 2]
