Up On the Roof - Live at The Montreux Jazz Festival 1973

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
'Cause 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 hassling crowd
And all that 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
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-tellin' you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've 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
Everything is all right
Up on the roof
Oh come on baby, come on baby
Up on the roof

Oh, everything is all right, everything is all right
Everything is all right
Up on the roof
