James Taylor Miscellaneous Up On The Roof Up On the Roof James Taylor (Gerry Goffin - Carole King) -Peaked at #28 in 1979 -Original version by the Drifters peaked at #5 in 1963 When this old world starts-a gettin' 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 feelin' tired and beat I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet I'll get far away from the hustlin' crowd And all that 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 darlin', you can share it all with me That's what I said Keep on tellin' you... That right smack dab in the middle of town I found a paradise that's troubleproof And if this old world starts-a gettin' you down There's room enough for two Up on the roof Up on the roof Up on the roof Woah, now Everything is all right, everything is all right C'mon! Stop what you're doin' tonight and climb up the stairs Be free baby We've got the stars above and the city lights below Wo-ah up on the roof, now (Oooooohhhhhhh...) From: "David Hayman" |
