Lyrics
Such a feelin’s comin’ over meThere is wonder in most every thing I seeNot a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyesAnd I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream
Everything I want the world to beIs now comin’ true especially for meAnd the reason is clear, it’s because you are hereYou’re the nearest thing to heaven that I’ve seen
I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creationAnd the only explanation I can findIs the love that I’ve found, ever since you’ve been aroundYour love’s put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my nameAnd it’s tellin’ me that things are not the sameIn the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breezeThere’s a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mindWhen this day is through I hope that I will findThat tomorrow will be, just the same for you and meAll I need will be mine if you are here
I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creationAnd the only explanation I can findIs the love that I’ve found, ever since you’ve been aroundYour love’s put me at the top of the world
I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creationAnd the only explanation I can findIs the love that I’ve found, ever since you’ve been aroundYour love’s put me at the top of the world
