up on the roof

Viola Wills

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 than bother me
Let me tell when I come 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 the 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
Let's go up on the roof


And at night the stars they put on a show for free
And darling you can share it all with me
Keep on telling you
That right smack dab in the middle of town
I Found a paradise that's trouble proof
And if this old world stars a getting you down
There's room enough for two
Up on the roof
(up on the roof)
Oh Come on baby
(Up on the roof)
Oh Come on honey
(Up on the roof)
Come on Sweetheart
