The Supremes — Up the Ladder to the Roof lyrics

Lyrics

Come with me And we will run across the sky
And il-lum-inate the night
Oh, oh, oh 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 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!
Oh, oh, oh
(All)
Memories of yesterday
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 Closer to heaven
INTERLUDE
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 thought
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 want to go Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better
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 vthe 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)
