When this old world
Starts a-gettin'

Me down
And people are
Just too much

For me to face
I'll climb way up
To the top

0f the stair
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
Comehome

Feelin' 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
On a 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
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
I keep on tellin' you

That right smack dab
In the middle of town
I found
A paradise that's

Trouble proof
If this ol' world
Starts a-gettin'

You down
Upontheroof
Upontheroof

Babe
Up on the roof
Yeah
Everything is alright
Everything is alright

Comeon
Look what you're
Doin', tonight and

Climb up the stairs
With me and see
We got the
Stars above

And the
City lights below
Oh oh oh
Oh oh

Up on the roof
Now...
