Up On The Roof (live) Lyrics

When this old world starts a getting me down
And people are just too much for
me to face
I'm gonna climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my
cares they drift right into space

Oh on the roof it's peaceful as can
be
And there the world below, it don't bother me

No no no
no

So when I come home feeling tired and beat
I got to go up where
the air is fresh and sweet for me now
I'm far away from the husteling
crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street

Oh on the roof,
that's the only place that I know
Look at the city baby
Where you just
have to wish to make it so
Lets go up on my roof

And at night the
stars, they put on a show for free
And darlin' you can share, share it all
with me

Hear what I say
Keep on tellin' you that

Right smack
dab in the middle of town
Well I've found a paradise just about trouble
proof I know now
And if this old world starts a getting you down
Well
there's room enough for two up on my roof

Up on my roof
Up on my
roof
You've got to come on up
Bring it on up 
Come on up
Come on
up

Drop what you're doing tonight 
And climb up the stairs with me
and see baby
We got the stars up above us and the city lights below
No no
no no no no no no 
Up on my roof
Up on a roof
