Up On the Roof

When this old world starts a-gettin' me down

And people are just too much for me to face

I'll 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 don't bother me, no, no

So when I come home feelin' tired and beat

I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet

I'll get far away from the hustlin' crowd

And all that rat race noise down in the street

On the roof, that's the only place I know

Look at the city, baby

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Let's go up on the roof

At night the stars, they put on a show for free

And, darlin', you can share it all with me

Just what I said

Keep on tellin' you that right smack dab in the middle of town

I found a paradise that's trouble-proof

And if this old world starts a-gettin' you down

There's room enough for two up on the roof

Up on the roof

Up on the roof, oh, now

Everything is alright, everything is alright

Come on

Front door to enter night and climb up the stairs, meet and see me

You got the stars above and the city lights below, oh, whoa

Up on the roof now
