Up On The Roof

Up On the Roof - The Drifters

Lyrics by：Gerry Goffin/Carole King

Composed by：Carole King/Gerry Goffin

Up on the roof

Up on the roof

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

Up on the roof

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

Up on the roof

On the roof it's peaceful as can be

And there below the world can't bother me

Let me tell you now

When I come home feeling tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet

Up on the roof

I get away from the hustling crowds

And all that rat race noise down in the street

Up on the roof

On the roof's the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Let's go up on the roof up on the roof

On the roof it's peaceful as can be

And there below the world can't bother me

Let me tell you now

When I come home feeling tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet

Up on the roof

I get away from the hustling crowds

And all that rat race noise down in the street
