Up on the Roof

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 don't bother me

So when I come home feeling tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet

I get far away from the hustling crowds

And all that rat race noise down in the street

On the roof that's the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

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 telling you 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, up on the roof
