Up On the Roof

When this old world starts getting me down
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

So when I come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet

I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat-race noise down in the street
Oh, on the roof, that's the only place I know
Look at the city, baby
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof

At night the stars they put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me, oh

Keep on telling you
That right smack dab in the middle of my town
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
And if this old world starts a-getting you down
There's room enough for two, up on the roof
Up on the roof, oh, up on a roof
Up on the roof, up on a roof, on the roof

If I've ever told you, with you tonight don't mind
Come on to seize me this evening
Hey, baby, seize me, eh

We got the stars above us and the city lights below us
(Oh, oh, yeah, yeah)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
