The Roof Lyrics - Butterfly - 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 

(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
