Carole King — Up On the Roof

[Verse 1] When this old world starts getting me down And people are just too much for me to face I climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space [Chorus] On the roof it's peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now [Verse 2] When I come home feeling tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet I get away from the hustle and crowds And all that rat race noise down in the street [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental] [Chorus] At night the stars put on a show for free And, darling, you can share it all with me Keep on telling you [Verse 3] Right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that's trouble-proof So if this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two, up on the roof [Outro] Up on the roof, everything is all right Up on the roof, oh, come on, baby Up on the roof Everything is all right Up on the roof
