Up On The Roof
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.
0n the roof irs peaceful

as can be. and there the
world below don't bother me.

No no.
So when I come home
feeling tired and weak 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.
0n the roof that's the only

place I know.

Look at the city. baby.
Where you just have to wish

to make it so.

Lets go up on the roof.
And at night the stars
they put on a show for free.
And. darlin'. 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've found a

paradise that's trouble proof.
And if this old world starts
a-gettin' you down.
there's room enough for two

up on the roof. up on the roof.
Up on the roof. on.
Everything is alright

everything is alright.
You got the stars above

and the city lights below.

oh. up on the roof.
