up on the roof |
|
Carole king (attributed to james taylor...) |
|
When this old world starts a getting me down |
|
And 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 don't bother me, no, no |
|
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 the rat-race noise down in the street |
|
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 |
|
And at night the stars they put on a show for free |
|
And, darling, you can share it all with me |
|
That's what i said |
|
Keep on telling you |
|
That right smack dab in the middle of town |
|
I found a paradise that's troubleproof |
|
And if this old world starts a getting you down |
|
There's room enough for two |
|
Up on the roof... |
