Such a feelin's comin' over me

"I'm on the top of the world"

Such a feelin's
Comin' over me
There is wonder
In 'most ev'ry thing 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 comin' 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

Somethin' 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
