Neil Diamond - Up On The Roof lyrics

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 away

from the hustling crowd

and all that rat-race noice

down in the street

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 a room enough for two

up on the roof

Way up on the roof
