Up On The Roof
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
(Up on the roof)
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space (up on the roof)
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 crowds
And all that rat race noise down on the street
(Up on the roof)
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
And it's where I go (up on the roof)
When the world below (up on the roof)
Gets too hard to bear (up on the roof)
It's my secret place (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 dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof (up on the roof)
So 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 (up on the roof) everything is alright now (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Yeah, yeah, up on the roof
Up on the roof
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
(Up on the roof)
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space (up on the roof)
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 crowds
And all that rat race noise down on the street
(Up on the roof)
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
And it's where I go (up on the roof)
When the world below (up on the roof)
Gets too hard to bear (up on the roof)
It's my secret place (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 dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof (up on the roof)
So 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 (up on the roof) everything is alright now (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Yeah, yeah, up on the roof
