Up on the Roof

Carole king (attributed to james taylor...)

When this old world starts a getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

Ill climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof, its peaceful as can be

And there the world below dont bother me, no, no

So when I come home feeling tired and beat

Ill go up where the air is fresh and sweet

Ill get far away from the hustling crowd

And all the rat-race noise down in the street

On the roof, thats the only place I know

Look at the city, baby

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Lets 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

Thats what I said

Keep on telling you

That right smack dab in the middle of town

I found a paradise thats troubleproof

And if this old world starts a getting you down

Theres room enough for two

Up on the roof...
