Asıl ismi 'The Roof (Back in time)' olan Mariah Carey şarkısı. 1997 çıkışlı Butterfly albümünde bulunmaktadır ve albümün 4. single'ı olarak çıkmıştır. Mariah'nın eski eşi Tommy Mottola'nın yönetimindeki Sony Music'in sanatçının kariyerini baltalama kampanyası başlatması sonucunda Amerikan listelerine giremeyecek bir formatta yayımlanmış ve promosyonu yapılmamıştır. Bu yüzden güme gitmiştir; çünkü çok güzel bir şarkıdır. Mariah'nın limuzinle gezdiği ve yağmur altında dolaştığı nefis bir de klibi vardır. Slant dergisi tarafından 2003'te tüm zamanların en güzel 18. klibi seçilmiştir ve ABD'de ticârî single olarak çıkmadığı hâlde MTV ile VH1'da sıklıkla gösterilmiştir.

Mobb Deep, Method Man ve Redman'lı güzel bir de remiksi vardır.

Sözleri:

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
(It 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)

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
