Footsteps On The Roof Songtext
von The Shangri‐Las

City down below is sleeping once again
I′m waiting here so impatiently
My love will soon be here with me

The silence of my room, the loneliness of life
Will surely fade and disappear
I'll know it when my love is getting near (ooh)
I′ll hear

Footsteps on the roof (I hear him call)
Footsteps on the roof
I'll run up there into his arms (come to me)
He'll tell me that he loves me (oh, and the music play)
And the music will play (as the world fades away)
As the world fades away

I do most everything, to pass the time away
′Cause every moment passes by
I′m that much closer to my guy


The silence of my room, is suddenly no more
Excitement seems to fill the air
I know it 'cause my love is getting near (ooh)
I′ll hear

Footsteps on the roof (I hear him call)
Footsteps on the roof
I'll run up there into his arms (come to me)
He′ll tell me that he loves me (oh, and the music play)
And the music will play (as the world fades away)
As the world fades away

I'll climb the stairs, and shut the door
Turn the lock, alone once more
I sit and stare, at stars up above
And dream of the moment, I′ll run to my love
Come to me, come to me


(Footsteps on the roof) I hear him call
(Footsteps on the roof)
(I'll run up there into his arms)
Come to me
(He'll tell me that he loves me)
Oh, and the music play
(And the music will play)
As the world fades away
(As the world fades away)
