Oldies Zone's video: The Drifters - Up On The Roof

The Drifters with Up On The Roof, an absolute classic golden oldies song that captures the essence of living the city life in America, momentarily escaping the hustle and bustle of a busy life up on the top of a building. Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Up on the Roof was originally recorded on June 28th, 1962 and released in September 1962, ultimately charting No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the USA. Many cover versions of the song followed, from Little Eva to Neil Diamond to Ike and Tina Turner to James Taylor and even original songwriter Carole King. 👇 The Drifters Up On The Roof Lyrics 👇 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 stairs 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 feelin' tired and beat I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof) I get away from the hustling crowd And all that rat race noise down in the street (up on the roof) On the roof, 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've 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) Enjoy more of the best oldies here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5KaoEDhMVCSsQQGug0h1ClTGeLenfIMe Subscribe to Oldies Zone for more: https://www.youtube.com/OldiesZone?sub_confirmation=1
