Below, you will find the lyrics for The Roof (Back in Time) by Mariah Carey.
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
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 relive 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 long time
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, boy'
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye
Chorus 3
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
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
