Up On The Roof

[Intro]

(Up on the roof)

(Up on the roof)

[Verse 1]

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

(Up on the roof)

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

(Up on the roof)

[Chorus]

On the roof it's peaceful as can be

And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now

[Verse 2]

When I come home feeling tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet

(Up on the roof)

I get away from the hustle and crowds

And all that rat race noise down on the street

(Up on the roof)

[Chorus]

On the roof's the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

[Bridge]

And that's where I go (Up on the roof)

When the world below (Up on the roof)

Gets too hard to face (Up on the roof)

It's my secret place (Up on the roof)

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

At night the stars put on a show for free

And, darling, you can share it all with me

I keep on telling you

[Verse 3]

Right smack dab in the middle of town

I found a paradise that's trouble-proof

(Up on the roof)

So if this world starts getting you down

There's room enough for two, up on the roof

(Up on the roof)

[Outro]

Up on the roof (Up on the roof)

Everything is all right now (Up on the roof)

Up on the roof (Up on the roof)

Yeah, yeah, up on the roof (Up on the roof)
