When this old world starts a 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 Oh no So when i come home feeling tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet And get far away from the hustling crowd 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 Let's go up on the roof At night the stars they put on a show for free Yes they do And darling you can share it all with me That's what i said i keep on telling you That right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that's trouble free And if this old world stars getting you down There's room enough for two up on the roof At night the stars they put on a show for free yeah And darling you can share it all with me That's what i said i keep on telling you That right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that's trouble free If this old world stars getting you down There's room enough for two up on the roof Up on the roof oh yeah Up on the roof
