mariah carey - the roof lyrics
verse 1
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 1
every time 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
verse 2
and so we finished the moet and
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 2
every time 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
every time 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
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 3
every time i feel the need
i envision you caressing me
(envision you caressing me)
and go back in time
(i go back)
to relieve the splendor of you and i
on the rooftop that rainy night
(on the roof that rainy night)
chorus 4
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
(i go back)
to relieve the splendor of you and i
(it was oh so sweet you and i)
on the rooftop that rainy night
(on that rainy night)
chorus 5
every time i feel the need
(last night i had the strangest dream…)
i envision you caressing me
(i 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 6
every time 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
