Up on the Roof

Up on the Roof - Carole King

Written by：C. King/G. Goffin

Up on the Roof

Up on the Roof

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

Up on the roof

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

Up on the roof

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 dab in the middle of town

I found in a paradise that's trouble proof

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
