Carey Mariah The Roof Lyrics

The Roof Lyrics

It wasn't raining yet

 But it was definitely 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:

 Everytime I feel the need

 I envision you caressing me

 And go back in time

 To relieve 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 feelings surfaced I'd suppressed

 For such a long time

 (And I was lifted)

 And for a while I forgot

 The sorrow and the pain

 And melted with you as we stood

 There in the rain

 

 Chorus

 

 Bridge:

 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)

 

 Chorus (2x)

 

 Everytime I feel the need

 (Last night I had the strangest dream...)

 I envision you caressing me

 (It was actually quite symbolic)

 And go back in time

 (As I whispered...That I loved you)

 To relieve the splendor of you and I

 (...very subtly)

 

 Chorus
