The Roof Lyrics by Mariah Carey

The Roof Lyrics

    It wasn't raining yet
    but it was definately getting a little misty on
    that warm November night
    And my heart was pounding,
    my inner voice resounding,
    begging me to turn away
    But I just had to see your face
    to feel alive

    And then you casually walked in the room
    and I was twisted in the web
    of my desire for you
    (And I was twisted)
    My apprehension blew away
    I only wanted you
    to taste my sadness
    as you kissed me in the dark

    Chorus:
    Every time I feel the need
    I envision you caressing me
    and go back in time
    to relive the splendor of you and I
    on the rooftop that rainy night

    And so we finished the Moet and
    I started feeling liberated
    And I surrendered as you took me
    in your arms
    I was so caught up in the moment
    I couldn't bear to let you go yet
    so I threw caution to the wind
    and started listening to my longing heart

    And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
    and the feelings surfaced I'd surpressed
    for such a long time
    (And I was lifted)
    And for awhile I forgot
    the sorrow and the pain
    and melted with you as we stood
    there in the rain

    Chorus (2x)

    Last night I dreamed that I
    whispered the words I love you
    and touched you so very
    subtly as we were kissing goodbye
    (Pretty baby -- how I'm missing you)

    Every time I feel the need
    I envision you caressing me
    (Envision you caressing me)
    and go back in time
    (I go back)
    to relive the splendor of you and I
    on the rooftop that rainy night
    (on the roof that rainy night)

    Every time I feel the need
    (When I feel the need)
    I envision you caressing me
    (I envision you over and over and over again)
    and go back in time
    to relive the splendor of you and I
    (It was oh so sweet, you and I)
    on the rooftop that rainy night
    (on that rainy night)

    Every time I feel the need
    (Last night I had the strangest dream ... )
    I envision you caressing me
    (It was actually quite symbolic)
    and I go back in time
    (As I whispered ... that I loved you)
    to relive the splendor of you and I
    ( ... very subtly)

    Chorus (1x)
