Up On The Roof Lyrics - Up On The Roof: Songs From The Brill Building - Neil Diamond

When this old world 

Starts a getting me down 

And people are just too much 

For me to face 

I'll 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 

Don't bother me, 

Let me tell you now 

When I come home 

Feeling tired and beat 

I'll go up 

Where the air is fresh and sweet 

I'll get far away 

From the hustling crowd 

And all that rat-race noise 

Down in the street

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

On the roof, 

That's the only place I know 

Where you just have to wish 

To make it so 

Let's go up on the roof 

Look at those stars darlin' 

At night the stars 

They put on a show for free 

And, darling, 

You can share it all with me 

I keep on telling you 

That right smack dab 

In the middle of town 

I found a paradise that's trouble proof 

And if this world 

Starts a getting you down 

There's room enough for two 

Up on the roof 

Way up on the roof
