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 spaceOn the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother meWhen I come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get away from the hustling crowd
And all the rat-race noise down in the streetOn the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it soAt night the stars put on a show for free
Darling, you can share it all with meRight smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's troubleproof
If this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
