|
When this old world starts a getting 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 can't bother me |
|
When I come home feeling tired and beat |
|
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet |
|
I'll get away from the hustling crowd |
|
And all the rat-race noise down in the street |
|
On the roof, the only place |
|
I know Where you just have to wish to make it so |
|
At night the stars put on a show for free |
|
Darling, you can share it all with me |
|
Right smack dab in the middle of town |
|
I found a paradise that's troubleproof |
|
If this world starts getting you down |
|
There's room enough for two |
|
Up on the roof |
|
Up on the roof |
