Up On The Roof lyrics
by The Drifters



When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

I climb way up to the top of the stars

And all my cares just drift right into space



On the roof it's peaceful as can be

And there the world below 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

I get away from the hustling crowds

And all that rat race noise down in the street



On the roof's the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Up on the roof



At night the stars put on a show for free

And darling you can share it all with me

I keep-a tellin' you



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 up on the roof



Up on the roof..........
