There's a lady who's sure
All that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
(First Date- Everything is shiny and new)
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
(That first special "sleep over"- you are prepared)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
(No sleep during the "sleep over")
There's a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have
Two meanings
(The commitment talk, you are happy she's happy)
In a tree by the brook
There's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are
Misgiven
(The proposal, the quest for the perfect spot, perfect words)
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder
(Your friends put the fear in you...)
There's a feeling I get
When I look to the west
And my spirit is crying
For leaving
(The night before the Big Day, are you ready?)
In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those
Who stand looking
(Wedding Day!)
Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder
(Wedding Night)
And it's whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
(The stick is pink)
And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will
Echo with laughter
(You are a Father!)
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, whoa, oh
(The first night with your new baby)
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean
For the May queen
("Sorry guys, I have to baby proof the house")
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change
The road you're on
(Saving for your child's future, time to sell the sports car.)
And it makes me wonder
Aw, uh, oh
Your head is humming and it won't go
In case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
(Doctor says "Time to give up the hoagies")
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?
(Mid-life already?)
(Solo)
(Too late for that...)
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The truth will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
(You realize that even with all the highs and lows, the pressures and jubilation, the insecurities and the elation, you are right where you want to be, embracing the love you have for your family and as a father, you need to be the rock and must not roll...)
And she's buying a stairway
To heaven...
