Up On The Roof Lyrics - Laura Nyro

When this old world starts getting me down 

And people are much too much for me to take, up on the roof 

I climb right up to the top of the stairs 

And all my cares just drift right into space 

On the roof, the only place I know 

Where you just have to wish to make it snow 

Up on the roof 

When I get home feeling tired and beat 

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet, up on the roof 

I get away from the hustling crowd 

And all that rat-race noise down in the street 

At night the stars put on a show for free 

Darling, you can share it all with me 

Let's go, I keep a telling you 

Right smack dab in the middle of town 

I've found a paradise that's trouble proof 

And if this world starts getting you down 

There's room enough for two up on the roof 

Up on the roof, come on, baby 

Come on, baby up on the roof 

Up on the roof
