A Neil Diamond fan community
Up on the Roof
By now if you've been reading my blog you know a few things about me. The most obvious being, aside from loving my husband and family, I love all things Disney and I love Neil Diamond!
Surprise! Not a Disney blog!!!!
Several years back, Neil did a version of 'Up on the Roof'. Sorry, I'm not going to google and tell you who did it originally. I took a liking to the song even though it was one he hadn't written.
One night while out in the shop working on the airplane Kevin calls into me and asks if I can come out to help him! I said, yeah, in a minute, I was putting the baby down to bed!
When I get out to the shop, he asks me to come out over to the garage. When I walk outside, the ladder is out, and he gets on it and leans over to take my hand! I look quizzically at him and he says come on up!
When we reach the top, we step over a few feet, and there, "Up on the Roof" is a blanket, wine & glasses, and his boom box which he starts with the CD playing the song!
Kevin says the stars were so pretty that he thought we should look at them!
What I didn't know, was how long he'd been planning this, waiting for perfect weather - clear of clouds, warm enough temps, and a bright moon all when he was home!
See, you don't have to spend a ton of money for a little romance and good music!

What a wonderful memory you have. At' a boy Kevin. Your story put a smile on my face!
Just so you don't have to google it; the song was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin and recorded in 1962 by the 'Drifters'.
Smiles,
