The Roof
Mariah Carey · Triple Feature [2010]
It wasn't raining yet
but it was definitely 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
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 (x2)
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)
