Lyrics I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise - Patti Austin

I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise

All you preachers\nWho delight in panning the dancing teachers\nLet me tell you there are a lot of features\nOf the dance that carry you through\nThe gates of Heaven\nIt’s madness\nTo be always sitting around in sadness\nWhen you could be learning the steps of gladness\nYou’ll be happy when you can do\nJust six or seven\nBegin today\nYou’ll find it nice\nThe quickest way to paradise\nWhen you practice\nHere’s the thing to know\nSimply say as you go\nI’ll build a stairway to Paradise\nWith a new step every day\nI’m gonna get there at any price\nStand aside, I’m on my way\nI’ve got the blues\nAnd up above it’s so fair\nShoes, go on and carry me there\nI’ll build a stairway to paradise\nWith a new step every day, every day\nOh, I’m building every day\nOh, building my stairway\nI’m building a stairway to Paradise\nWith a new step every day\nI’m gonna get there at any price\nStand aside, I’m on my way\nI’ve got the blues\nAnd up above it’s so fair\nPair of shoes, go on and carry me there cause\nI’ll build a stairway to paradise\nWith a new step, gonna build a new step\nEvery day\nI’ll build a stairway to Paradise
