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 I'll hear Footsteps on the roof Footsteps on the roof I'll run up there into the dark He'll tell me that he'll love me And the music will play as the world fades away I do most everything to pass the time away 'Cause every moment that passes by I'm not 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 I'll hear Footsteps on the roof Footsteps on the roof I'll run up there into the dark He'll tell me that he'll love me And the music will play as the world fades away I'll climb the stairs and shut the door, turn the lock once more I sit and stare the stars up above And dream of the moment I'll run to my love Run to me, run to me Footsteps on the roof Footsteps on the roof I'll run up there into the dark He'll tell me that he'll love me And the music will play as the world fades away
