Up On the Roof Lyrics by Rachael MacFarlane

Hayley Sings

2012

[Verse 1]
When this old world starts 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
[Chorus]
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below won't bother me
[Verse 2]
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 that rat-race noise down in the street
[Chorus]
On the roof, that's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof
[Verse 3]
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep telling you
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
Up on the roof
