(Music & Lyrics by Gerald Goffin & Carole King)
|
|
When this old world starts a getting me down
|
And people are just too much for me to face
|
I'll 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
|
|
When I come home feeling tired and beat
|
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
|
I'll get away from the hustling crowd
|
And all the rat-race noise down in the street
|
|
On the roof, the only place I know
|
Where you just have to wish to make it so
|
|
At night the stars put on a show for free
|
Darling, you can share it all with me
|
|
Right smack dab in the middle of town
|
I found a paradise that's troubleproof
|
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
