Lyrics:

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
