Up On The Roof

Lyrics

When this old world starts a-getting me down
 And people are just too much for me to face
 I'm gonna climb way up to the top of the stairs
 And all my cares adrift right into space
 Oh, on the roof it's peaceful as can be
 And there the world below, it don't bother me
 No, no, no, no
 So when I come home feeling tired and beat
 I've got to go up where the air is fresh and sweet for me now
 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 that I know
 Look at the city baby
 Where you just have to wish to make it so
 Let's go up on my roof
 ♪
 And at night the stars, they put on a show for free
 And darlin' you can share, share it all with me
 Hear what I say
 Keep on tellin' you that
 Right smack dab in the middle of town
 Well I've found a paradise just about troubled proof, I know now
 And if this old world starts a-getting you down
 Well there's room enough for two up on my roof
 Up on my roof
 Up on my roof
 You gotta come on up
 Bring it on up
 Come on up, come on up
 No, now
 Stop what you're doing tonight
 And climb up the stairs and then you'll see me
 We got the stars up above us and the city lights below
 No, no, no, no-no, no, no, no-no, no, no
 Up on my roof
 Ohh, up on the roof
