Carole King Up On the Roof song lyrics

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

I 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 can't bother me

Let me tell you now, when I come home feelin' tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet

(Up on the roof)

I get away from the hustling crowds

And all that rat race noise down in the street

(Up on the roof)

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

And darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-telling you, right smack dad in the middle of town

I found a paradise that's trouble proof

(Up on the roof)

So if this world starts getting you down

There's room enough for two up on the roof

(Up on the roof)

Up on the roof, everything is alright

Up on the roof, oh, come on baby

I just wanna be with you, baby

Up on the roof, up on the roof

Everything is alright, everything is alright

Everything is alright, up on the roof
