Artist: Mariah Carey Album: Butterfly Title: The Roof
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 (And I was twisted) 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 relieve 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 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 relieve 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 relieve 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 (Envision you caressing me) And go back in time (I go back) To relieve the splendor of you and I On the rooftop that rainy night (On the roof 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 (I go back) To relieve 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 (I 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) CHORUS 6 Every time 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
