Top of the World es una canción escrita y compuesta en 1972 por Richard Carpenter y John Bettis, convirtiéndose en un Nº 1 para el dúo estadounidense Carpenters.
El tema apareció dentro de su álbum A Song for You e inicialmente iba a formar parte del repertorio del disco, sin destacarla como single, pero cuando la cantante de country estadounidense Lynn Anderson lanzó una versión en 1973 con la que consiguió un gran éxito, Carpenters se molestó porque ellos no habían lanzado su versión como sencillo, haciéndolo finalmente más tarde.
Karen Carpenter volvió a grabar su voz principal para el lanzamiento del sencillo porque no estaba satisfecha con la grabación original y la nueva versión apareció en el primer álbum recopilatorio del dúo que se llamo The Singles: 1969-1973.
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
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
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 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
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 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
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
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
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
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
