James Taylor Up On The Roof
Gerry Goffin - Carole King 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, no, no So 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 the rat-race noise down in the street On the roof, that's the only place I know Look at the city, baby Where you just have to wish to make it so Let's go up on the roof And at night the stars they put on a show for free And, darling, you can share it all with me That's what I said Keep on telling you That right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that's troubleproof And if this old world starts a getting you down There's room enough for two Up on the roof...
