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) |
|
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof) |
|
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof) |
|
Everything is all right (up on the roof) |
