Top of the World -- Carpenters

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

 "Top of the World" is the name of a 1972 song by The Carpenters.  the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in late 1973, becoming the duo's second U.S. #1 single. Originally intended to be only an album cut for the Carpenters, country singer Lynn Anderson covered the song and her version became the first hit.  Karen Carpenter re-recorded the song for the band's first compilation as she was not quite satisfied with the original. Brother Richard Carpenter has remixed the song's vocals, most recently for their 35th Anniversary Gold compilation.   (wikipedia)
