When this old world starts gettin' me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space.
Chorus:
On the roof as peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me.
Let me tell you now...
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustlin' crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the street.
Chorus
On the roof's the the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so.
(Lets go up on the roof)
Bridge
At night the stars
Put on a show for free,
And darling, you can
Share it all with me.
Let me tell you now...
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from the hustlin' crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the street.
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
