Up On The Roof Lyrics - Taylor James

Gerry Goffin - Carole King 

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 troubleproof 

And if this old world starts a getting you down 

There's room enough for two 

Up on the roof...
