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.
