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
