up on the roof
up on the roof
verse
when this old world starts getting me down
and people are just too much for me to face up on the roof
i climb way up to the top of the stairs
and all my cares just drift right into space up on the roof
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 feeling tired and beat
i go up where the air is fresh and sweet up on the roof
i get away from the hustlin’ crowds
and all that rat race noise down in the street up on the roof
on the roof’s 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 keepa tellin’ youa
right smack dab in the middle of town
i found a paradise that’s troubleproof 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 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
