Gerry Goffin - Up On The Roof lyrics

When this old world starts getting me down And people are just too much for me to face I 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 So when I come home feeling tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet I get far away from the hustling crowds 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 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 telling you right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that's trouble proof So if this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two up on the roof, up on the roof
