James Taylor - Up On The Roof(1979)

Kar by Geoffrey Carter 30th July 2016

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 spa~~~ce...
On the roof..
it's peaceful as can be...
and there the world below
don't bother me.. no, no~...

So when I come home
feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air
is fresh and sweet...
I'll get far away
from the hustling crowd
and all the rat race noise
down in the street...
On the roof
That's the only place I know
Spoken: {Look at the city, baby}
Where you just have to wish
to make it so~...
Let's go~.. Up on the roof...

At night the stars
they put on a show for free...
And, darling
you can sha~~re it all with me~...
that's what I said
keep on telling you
That right smack dab
in the middle of town
I found a paradise
that's troubleproof...

And if this old world
starts a getting you down
there's room enough for two
Up on a roof..
Up on a roof..
Up on a roof..
Oh oh~.. now..
Ev'rything is alright..
Ev'rything is alright..
Come on..
Drop what you're do'in tonight..
and climb up the stairs
We got the stars above
and the city lights below..
Ooh up on a roof now....
Up on a roof now....
Up on a roof now....
