The Roof (Back In Time) - Mariah Carey

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

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

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

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

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 relieve 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

(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)

Every time I feel the need

(Last nigth 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

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
