Only this:

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, ooh, and she's buying 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

Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, makes me 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

Ooh, it makes me wonder Ooh, really makes me wonder

And 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

Oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed nowIt's just a spring clean for the May queenYes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long runThere's still time to change the road you're on

And it makes me wonder Ohh, whoa

Your head is humming, and it won't go, in case you don't know The piper's calling you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the roadOur shadows taller than our soulThere walks a lady we all knowWho shines white light and wants to showHow everything still turns to goldAnd if you listen very hardThe tune will come to you at lastWhen all are one, and one is allTo be a rock and not to roll

And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
