When this old world starts getting me down
& people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
& all my cares just drift right in to space
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
& there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin' tired & beat
I go up where the air is fresh & sweet
I get away from the hustling crowds
& 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
Oh, let's go
Up on the roof
At night the stars put on a show for free &
darling, you can share it all with me
I keep on telling you
Right smack down in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
So if this world starts getting you down
there's room enough for 2
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
Everyhting's all right
Up on the roof
Oh, come on baby
Up on the roof
Gerry Goffin & Carole King
1962
