Lyrics for Song: Up The Ladder To The Roof
Lyrics for Album: This Is The Story: The '70s Albums, Vol.1 - 1970-1973 [2006]
(F. Wilson, V. DiMirco)
[Jean]
Come with me
And we shall run across the sky
And il-lum-inate the night
Oh, oh, oh I will try and guide you
To better times
And brighter days
Don't be afraid
Go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be
[Mary]
Where we can be
[Cindy]
Where we can be
[Jean]
Closer to heaven (to heaven stay)
Stay with me
And we shall let expression sing
[All]
Hear freedom's virtues ringing
[Jean]
Can't you hear 'em ringing?
[Background echoes]
Ringing!
[Jean]
Oh, oh, oh
[All]
Memories of yesterday
[Jean]
Yesterday's broken dreams
Don't you know
They'll all fade away
If you'll come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be
[Mary]
Where we can be
[Cindy]
Where we can be
[Jean]
Closer to heaven
INTERLUDE
[Jean]
We'll laugh and I'll tell you a story of love
How it is, and the happiness in it, baby
We'll combine our thoughts
And together we will travel the roads
To the fountain of loveliness
I will never, never ever
Leave you, leave you alone to wander
As we go on, our love, it will grow
(It will grow)
Much stronger and stronger
Don't you wanna go
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better, ooh!
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be closer to heaven, oh
Up the
(Up the)
Ooh-ooh, up the
(Up the)
Oh, come on and walk
(walk)
Come on and talk
(talk)
Come on and sing about love and understanding
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Up the ladder to the roof
Ooh-ooh-ooh
(See heaven much better)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
(Oh, up the ladder to the roof)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
(Be closer to heaven)
