Up On the Roof

James Taylor

    Continues after the ad

    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 they drift right into space

    Oh on the roof it's peaceful as can be
    And there the world below, it don't bother me

    No no no no

    So when I come home feeling tired and beat
    I got to go up where the air is fresh and sweet for me now
    I'm far away from the husteling crowd
    And all that rat race noise down in the street

    Continues after the ad

    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, share it all with me

    Hear what I say
    Keep on tellin' you that

    Right smack dab in the middle of town
    Well I've found a paradise just about trouble proof I know now
    And if this old world starts a getting you down
    Well there's room enough for two up on my roof

    Up on my roof
    Up on my roof
    You've got to come on up
    Bring it on up
    Come on up
    Come on up

    Drop what you're doing tonight
    And climb up the stairs with me and see baby
    We got the stars up above us and the city lights below
    No no no no no no no no
    Up on my roof
    Up on a roof
