Up On the Roof

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now

[Verse 2]
When I come home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustle and crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
Keep on telling you

[Verse 3]
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two, up on the roof

[Outro]
Up on the roof, everything is all right
Up on the roof, oh, come on, baby
Up on the roof
Everything is all right
Up on the roof
