Mariah Carey - The Roof (Back In Time)

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)
