Up On the Roof (with James Taylor)

Lyrics

When this old world starts getting me down
 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 can't bother me
 So when I come home feeling tired and beat
 I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
 I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
 And all that rat-race noise down in the street
 Oh, 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, darling, you can share it all with me, oh
 Keep on telling you
 That right smack dab in the middle of my town
 I found a paradise that's trouble proof
 And if this old world starts a-getting you down
 There's room enough for two, up on the roof
 Up on the roof, oh, up on a roof
 Up on the roof, up on a roof, on the roof
 If I've ever told you, with you tonight don't mind
 Come on to seize me this evening
 Hey, baby, seize me, eh
 We got the stars above us and the city lights below us
 (Oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
 Up on the roof (up on the roof)
 Up on the roof (up on the roof)
