Lyrics
Top of the world
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Such a feeling's coming over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
But the sun in my eyes
And I wouldn't be surprised that its a dream
Everything I was about to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I see
I'm on the top of the world
Down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
Yea that puts me on the top of the world
Something in the water is taking over me
And it's telling me the things I'll never say
And the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a place and sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When the day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be
Just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you will share
On the top of the world
And she's down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
Yeah that puts me on the top of the world
[odd voice]
I'm on the top of the world
Down on creation
And the only explanation that I can find
Is the love that I've found
Ever since you've been around
Yeah that puts me at the top of the world
(repeat 3x)
