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 crowd
|
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)
|
On the roof, the only place I know
|
Where you just have to wish to make it so
|
Let's go 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 a-tellin' you
|
|
Right smack dab in the middle of town
|
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
|
And if this world starts getting you down
|
There's room enough for two
|
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
|
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)
|
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
|
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
|
FADE
|
|
Everything is all right (up on the roof)
|
|
