When this whole world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
And let me tell you now
When I come home tired and weak
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that noise down in the street
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling you can share it all with me
I keep a telling you that right smack in the middle of town
I found the paradise that's trouble-proof
And if this world starts getting you down
There is room enough for two
Up on the roof
Come on baby...
