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

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
I get away from the husteling crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street

On the roof, the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Lets go up on the roof

And at night the stars, put on a show for free
And darlin' you can share it all with me

I keep on tellin' you

Right smack dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise just trouble proof
And if this old world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof

Up on the roof
Oh Come on baby
Oh Come on Honey
Oh Come on Baby
Oh Come On Honey
This song is from the album "Flag" and "Best of James Taylor".
