SINGER: Mariah Carey

SONG: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
