Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
[Verse 2]
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
[Verse 3]
When I come home feelin' tired and week
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all the rat race noise down in the street
[Verse 4]
On the roof's, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Let's go up on the roof
[Verse 5]
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-tellin' you
[Verse 6]
That right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof
Come on, baby
There's room enough for two
