lyrics
[Instrumental
Intro]
[Verse 1: Karen Carpenter]
Such a feeling's coming 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
[Verse 1: Karen Carpenter]
Such a feeling's coming 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
[Chorus]
I'm on the top of the world looking 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
[Verse 2]
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing 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 looking 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
I'm on the top of the world looking 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
I'm on the top of the world looking 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
[Verse 2]
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's telling me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing 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 looking 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
I'm on the top of the world looking 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
"Top of the World" is a 1972 song written
and composed by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis and
first recorded by American pop duo Carpenters.
It was a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit for the duo
for two consecutive weeks in 1973.
Carpenters
originally intended the song to be only an album cut. However, after country singer Lynn Anderson covered
the song and it became a number two hit on the country charts, they
reconsidered.
Originally recorded for and released on the duo's 1972
studio album A Song for You, the
song topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in late
1973, becoming the duo's second of three No. 1 singles, following "(They Long to Be) Close to You" and
preceding "Please Mr. Postman." Karen Carpenter re-recorded
it for the band's first compilation as she was not quite satisfied with the
original.
In Japan, it was used as the
opening theme song for the 1995 Japanese drama Miseinen.
In 2003, another drama, Beginner,
had it as its ending theme song. It is heard in Shrek Forever After as Shrek enjoys
being a "real ogre" and terrifying the villagers, as well as in a
prominent scene of the 2012 film Dark Shadows, where a performance by the
Carpenters is seen on a television screen.
