Up On The Roof - - 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 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 

I get away from the hustling crowd And all that rat-race noise down in the street 

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   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 

And if this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two

Up on the roof  Up on the roo-oo-oof  Oh, come on, baby  

this breezy summertime song evokes the high-rise apartments in American cities where urban dwellers could escape from the stresses of daily living by climbing onto the tar "beaches" on the roofs of their buildings          (songfacts)
