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 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 Oh, let's go 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-telling you, right smack dad in the middle of town I found a paradise that's trouble proof (Up on the roof) So 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, everything is alright Up on the roof, oh, come on baby I just wanna be with you, baby Up on the roof, up on the roof Everything is alright, everything is alright Everything is alright, up on the roof
