The Roof Mariah Carey
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 than 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
Verse 2
And so we finished that 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 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 relive 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 relive 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
(Ervision 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
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
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)
Chorus 5
Every time 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 relive 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 relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
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

And I was twisted in the web
Of my desire for you

My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark

Every time I feel the need

And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
