Carole King and Gerry Goffin, “Up on the Roof”

Videos by American Songwriter

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

–Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin
