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
feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air
is fresh and sweet
I get away from
the hustling crowds
and all the
rat race noise
down in the street
On the roof'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 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 found a paradise
that's trouble-proof
And if this world starts
getting you down
there's room enough
for two up on the roof
Baby
up on the roof...
