《I’ll Build a Stairway to Paradise》歌词

[00:03:10] I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise - George Gershwin

[00:03:10] Verse One

[00:03:10] All you preachers

[00:03:10] Who delight in panning the dancing teachers,

[00:03:10] Let me tell you there are a lot of features

[00:03:10] Of the dance that carry you through

[00:03:10] The gates of Hea-ven.

[00:03:10] It's madness

[00:03:10] To be always sitting around in sadness,

[00:03:10] When you could be learning the steps of gladness.

[00:03:10] You'll be happy when you can do

[00:03:10] Just six or seven;

[00:03:10] Begin to day!

[00:03:10] You'll find it nice,

[00:03:10] The quickest way to paradise.

[00:03:10] When you practise,

[00:03:10] Here's the thing to know,

[00:03:10] Simply say as you go...

[00:03:10] Chorus

[00:03:10] I'll build a stairway to Paradise

[00:03:10] With a new step ev'ry day聽!

[00:03:10] I'm gonna get there at any price;

[00:03:10] Stand aside, I'm on my way聽!

[00:03:10] I've got the blues

[00:03:10] And up above it's so fair.

[00:03:10] Shoes聽! Go on and carry me there聽!

[00:03:10] I'll build a stairway to Paradise

[00:03:10] With a new step ev'ry day.

[00:03:10] Verse Two

[00:03:10] Ev'ry new step

[00:03:10] Helps a bit聽; but any old kind of two step,

[00:03:10] Does as well. It don't matter what step you step,

[00:03:10] If you work it into your soul

[00:03:10] You'll get to Heaven.

[00:03:10] Get bu-sy聽;

[00:03:10] Dance with Maud the countess, or just plain Lizzy:

[00:03:10] Dance until you're blue in the face and dizzy.

[00:03:10] When you've learn'd to dance in your sleep

[00:03:10] You're sure to win out.

[00:03:10] In time you'll get Saint Vitus dance,

[00:03:10] Which beats the latest thing from France.

[00:03:10] Take no chances on this Paradise聽;

[00:03:10] Let me give you advice.

[00:03:10] Chorus (x2)
