002 - Top Of The World
Verse 1
Such a feel-in’s com-in’ ov-er me,
there is won-der in most ev-‘ry-thing(lower pitch) I see,
not a cloud in the sky got the sun in my eyes,
and I ^ won’t be sur-prised if it’s a dream(volume)
Verse 2
Ev-‘ry-thing I want the world to be,
is now com-ing true e-spe-cial-ly for (higher pitch) me,
and the rea-son is clear, it’s be-cause you are here,
you’re the near-est thing to heav-en that I’ve seen(volume)
[Chorus]
I’m on the ^ top of the wor-ld
look-in’ ^ down on cre-a-tion
and the on-ly ex-pla-na-tion I can find,
is the love that I’ve found,
ev-er since you’ve been a-round,
your love’s put me at the top of the world.
[4 x Bar Turnaround]
Verse 3
Some-thing in the wind has learned my name,
and it’s tell-in’ me that things are not lower pitch) the same,
in the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze,
there’s a pleas-in’ sense of hap-pi-ness for me (volume)
Verse 4
There is on-ly one wish on my mind,
when this day is through I hope that I will (higher pitch) find,
that to-mor-row will be just the same for you and me
all I need will be mine if you are here. (volume)
[Chorus]
I’m on the ^ top of the wor-ld
look-in’ ^ down on cre-a-tion
and the on-ly ex-pla-na-tion I can find,
is the love that I’ve found,
ev-er since you’ve been a-round,
your love’s put me at the top of the world.
[Tag]
is the love that I’ve found,
ev-er since you’ve been a-round,
your love’s put me at the top of the world.
