Come with me
And we shall run across the sky
And illuminate 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
Go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be (where we can be, where we can be)
Closer to heaven (to heaven, stay)
Stay with me
And we shall let expressions sing
(Please bring our virtues with us)
Can't you hear 'em ringing? (Ringing)
Oh-oh-oh
Memories of yesterdays
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
Come up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be (where we can be)
Oh, closer to heaven
We'll laugh and I'll tell you the story of love
How it is, and the happiness in it baby
We'll combine our thoughts
And together we'll travel the roads
To the fountain of loveliness
I will never, ever, ever leave you
Leave you alone to wonder
As we go on our love, it will grow (it will grow)
Much stronger stronger
Don't you wanna go
Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
Go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be closer to heaven
Ah, up the (up the)
Ooh-ooh, up the (up the)
Oh, come on and walk (walk)
Come on and talk (talk)
Come and sing about love and understanding
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Up the ladder to the roof
Ooh-ooh-ooh
See heaven much better
