Peter Cincotti - Up on the Roof lyrics

(Music & Lyrics by Gerald Goffin & Carole King) 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 can't bother me When I come home feeling tired and beat I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet I'll get away from the hustling crowd And all the rat-race noise down in the street On the roof, the only place I know Where you just have to wish to make it so At night the stars put on a show for free Darling, you can share it all with me Right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that's troubleproof If this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two Up on the roof Up on the roof
