James Taylor — Up on the Roof Live

[Intro] *Clapping and cheering* [Verse 1] When this old world starts a-gettin' me down And people are just too much for me to face I'monna climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares, they drift right into space [Chorus] Oh, on the roof, it's peaceful as can be And there, the world below, it don't bother me No, no, no, no [Verse 2] So when I come home feelin' tired and beat I got to go up where the air is fresh and sweet for me now I'll get far away from the hustlin' crowd And all that rat-race noise down in the street [Chorus] 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 Let's go up on my roof [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] Right smack dab in the middle of town Well, I found a paradise, just about trouble-proof, I know now And if this old world starts a-gettin' you down Well there's room enough for two [Outro] 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, go now, and Drop what you're doin' tonight and climb up the stairs with me and see me You got the stars up above us and the city lights below No no no, no no no no, no no no no Up on my roof, oh Up on a roof *Clapping and cheering*
