UP ON THE ROOF
|
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King
|
|
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 in to 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
|
I get away from the hustling crowds
|
And all that rat race noise down in the street
|
|
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 down 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
|
Everyhting's all right
|
Up on the roof
|
Oh, come on baby
|
Up on the roof
|
Up on the roof
|
