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)
