Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Aug 12, 2025 11:59 pm “Up on the Roof” is a song written by James Taylor’s longtime friend and collaborator Carole King and her then-husband, lyricist Gerry Goffin. It was first recorded / released in 1962 by The Drifters.
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, 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 (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) 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 (Up on the roof) And if this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two up on the roof (Up on the roof) Up on the roof (Up on the roof) Oh, come on, baby (Up on the roof) Oh, come on, honey (Up on the roof) Everything is all right (Up on the roof) https://youtu.be/lVAgpDnCR4E?si=Fw15nXM9baz_0wyK Title: Re: Songs that help us recognize this life will not satisfy us.
