Dolly Parton
Stairway to Heaven
[Verse 1]
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, a stairway to heaven

[Verse 2]
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
Because you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

[Refrain]
Ooh, it makes me wonder
I wonder, I really, really wonder

[Verse 3]
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts, I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

[Verse 4]
It's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter
[Verse 5]
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still some time to change the road you're on

[Refrain]
Oh, it makes me wonder

[Verse 6]
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Oh, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies upon the whispering wind?

[Bridge]
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven
You can't buy it, you can't borrow
You've got to walk it straight and narrow
Stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven, stairway to heaven

[Outro]
And as we walk on down the road
Our shadows longer than our souls
All that glitters is not gold
Wanna be a rock and not a roll
Oh, the great almighty dollar
Leaves you lonely, lost and hollow
You can't fool yourself forever
You got to work to get to heaven
Stairway to heaven
If we listen and hold fast
To every question that we asked
The truth will come to us at last
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
