When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stars
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
Let me tell you now
When I come home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down in the street
On the roof`s the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling you can share it all with me
I keep-a tellin` you
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I 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
Up on the roof..........
