Lyrics Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton

Stairway to Heaven

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

Oh oh a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

Cause 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

Oh oh it makes me wonder oh oh oh realy really wonder

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

And it's whispered that soon if we all call 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

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 time to change the road your own

And it makes me wonder

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 staiway lies on the whispering wind

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

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 gotta 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
