|
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, |
|
Let me tell you now |
|
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 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 |
|
Look at those stars darlin' |
|
At night the stars |
|
They put on a show for free |
|
And, darling, |
|
You can share it all with me |
|
I keep on telling you |
|
That right smack dab |
|
In the middle of town |
|
I found a paradise that's trouble proof |
|
And if this world |
|
Starts a getting you down |
|
There's room enough for two |
|
Up on the roof |
|
Way up on the roof |
