Such a feelin s comin over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won t be surprised if it s a dream.

Everything I want the world 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 ve seen.

I m on the top of the world lookin

down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I ve found ever since

you ve been around
Your love s put me at the top of the world.

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it s tellin me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch

of the breeze
There s a pleasin sense of happiness for me.

There is only one wish on my mind
When this 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 are here.

I m on the top of the world lookin

down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I ve found ever since

you ve been around
Your love s put me at the top of the world.
