Supremes - Up The Ladder To The Roof lyrics

rate me

(F. Wilson, V. DiMirco)

[Jean]

Come with me

And we shall run across the sky

And il-lum-inate the night

Oh, oh, oh I will try and guide you

To better times

And brighter days

Don't be afraid

Go up the ladder to the roof

Where we can see heaven much better

Come up the ladder to the roof

Where we can be

[Mary]

Where we can be

[Cindy]

Where we can be

[Jean]

Closer to heaven (to heaven stay)

Stay with me

And we shall let expression sing

[All]

Hear freedom's virtues ringing

[Jean]

Can't you hear 'em ringing?

[Background echoes]

Ringing!

[Jean]

Oh, oh, oh

[All]

Memories of yesterday

[Jean]

Yesterday's broken dreams

Don't you know

They'll all fade away

If you'll come up the ladder to the roof

Where we can see heaven much better

Go up the ladder to the roof

Where we can be

[Mary]

Where we can be

[Cindy]

Where we can be

[Jean]

Closer to heaven

INTERLUDE

[Jean]

We'll laugh and I'll tell you a story of love

How it is, and the happiness in it, baby

We'll combine our thoughts

And together we will travel the roads

To the fountain of loveliness

I will never, never ever

Leave you, leave you alone to wander

As we go on, our love, it will grow

(It will grow)

Much stronger and stronger

Don't you wanna go

Up the ladder to the roof

Where we can see heaven much better, ooh!

Up the ladder to the roof

Where we can be closer to heaven, oh

Up the

(Up the)

Ooh-ooh, up the

(Up the)

Oh, come on and walk

(walk)

Come on and talk

(talk)

Come on and sing about love and understanding

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Up the ladder to the roof

Ooh-ooh-ooh

(See heaven much better)

Ooh-ooh-ooh

(Oh, up the ladder to the roof)

Ooh-ooh-ooh

(Be closer to heaven)
