"Upstairs, Downstairs" Lyrics

Upstairs, downstairs
Upstairs, downstairs

Upstairs, every night, there's a boy listening to his radio
Downstairs, just one flight, a girl waits patiently
Downstairs, every night, sits a girl listening from the floor below
Upstairs, just one flight, the boy waits patiently

Each one knowing that the other is there
Each one hoping that the other will dare to climb the first stair

Upstairs, downstairs
Upstairs, downstairs

Upstairs, in the night, the boy hears crying from the room below
He goes down one flight and dries her tear-filled eyes
Upstairs, every night, all is quiet in the room above
Downstairs, just one flight, there's nothing to be said

Now the lonely girl and boy have met
The upstairs room is advertised to let, now these two have met

Upstairs, downstairs
Upstairs, downstairs
