Neil Diamond Up On The Roof lyrics

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, 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 noise down in the street

On the roof'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 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 getting you down
There's room enough for two, up on the roof
Way up on the roof
