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 don't bother me
no
no. so when i come home feeling tired and beat
i'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet. i'll get far away from the hustling crowd and all the rat-race noise down in the street. on the roof
that's the only place i know
look at the city
baby. where you just have to wish to make it so
let's go up on the roof. and at night the stars
they put on a show for free. and
darling
you can share it all with me
that's what i said
keep on telling you
that right smack dab in the middle of town
i found a paradise that's trouble-proof. and if this old world starts a getting you down
there's room enough for two
up on the roof
up on the roof
up on the roof. everything is all right
every thing is all right. you got the stars above and the city lights below
let's go up on the roof.
