when this old world starts a 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 don't bother me
|
oh no
|
|
so when i come home feeling tired and beat
|
i go up where the air is fresh and sweet
|
and get far away from the hustling crowd
|
and all that rat race noise down in the street
|
|
on the roof that's the only place i know
|
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
|
yes they do
|
and darling you can share it all with me
|
|
that's what i said i keep on telling you
|
that right smack dab in the middle of town
|
i found a paradise that's trouble free
|
and if this old world stars getting you down
|
there's room enough for two up on the roof
|
|
at night the stars they put on a show for free yeah
|
and darling you can share it all with me
|
|
that's what i said i keep on telling you
|
that right smack dab in the middle of town
|
i found a paradise that's trouble free
|
if this old world stars getting you down
|
there's room enough for two up on the roof
|
up on the roof oh yeah
|
up on the roof
|
