Up on the Roof - Sutton Foster

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 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

Look at the city, baby

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

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 the roof…
