Up On the Roof

Lyrics

When this old 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
 Let me tell you now
 When I come home feelin' tired and beat
 I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
 I get away from the hustling crowd
 And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
 On the roof, the only place I know
 Where you just have to wish to make it so
 Let's go up on the roof (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-tellin' you
 Right smack dab in the middle of town
 I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
 And if this world starts getting you down
 There's room enough for two
 Up on the roof (up on the roof)
 Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
 Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
 Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
 Everything is all right (up on the roof)
