James Taylor Up on the Roof song 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 just drift right into space

On the roof it's peaceful as can be

And there the world below, it don't bother me

No no no

So when I come home feeling tired and beat

I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet for me now

I'get far away from the hustling 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 it all with me

Hear what I say

Keep on tellin' you that

Right smack dab in the middle of town

I've found a paradise just about trouble proof

And if this old world starts a getting you down

Well there's room enough for two up on my roof

Up on the roof

Up on the roof

Up on the roof, ohh

Everything is alright

Everything is alright

Come on

Put down what your doing tonight

And climb up the stairs and then you'll see me

We got the stars up above us and the city lights below

ohh ohhh ohhh

Up on the roof
