Up on the roof
Up on the roof

When this old world
Starts getting me down
And people are just
Too much for me to face
(Up on the roof)

I climb way up to
The top of the stairs
And all my cares
Just drift right into s___e
(Up on the roof)

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
(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
Tto 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 telling 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)
Everything is all right (up on the roof)
