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 weak
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 roofs 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 telling 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
up on the roof
Come on baby
