Lyrics
Such a feelin's comin' over me
Feeling an overwhelming sensation
There is wonder in 'most every thing I see
Perceiving wonder or amazement in nearly everything observed
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
Describing clear weather conditions and a bright, sunny day
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Expressing a slight disbelief that this might all be a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Expressing desires for an ideal world
Is now comin' true especially for me
Those desires becoming reality, especially for the singer
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
Attributing this positive change to the presence of a specific person
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
Referring to the person's significance, comparing them to heaven
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
Feeling elated and triumphant, observing life from a superior position
And the only explanation I can find
Expressing inability to explain this feeling other than through love
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Attributing newfound happiness to the presence of a loved one
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Stating that love has elevated the singer to a joyful state
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
Suggesting a mysterious force recognizing the singer
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
Noticing a change in the environment, indicating something special
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
Noting a pleasant feeling from nature around the singer
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
Feeling happiness from the beauty of nature
There is only one wish on my mind
Expressing a single hope for the future
When this day is through I hope that I will find
Desiring the continuation of this blissful experience
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
Wishing for a similar positive experience for both the singer and the person being addressed
All I need will be mine if you are here
Believing that everything desired will be achieved with the presence of the person
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
Reiterating the feeling of being on top of the world
And the only explanation I can find
Stating love as the only explanation for the elation
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Linking happiness to the presence of a beloved individual
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Declaring that love has elevated the singer to a higher state
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
Repeating the feeling of triumph and elation
And the only explanation I can find
Reiterating love as the sole explanation for the overwhelming feeling
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Linking ongoing happiness to the presence and love of the addressed person
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Declaring that love has brought the singer to a superior state of being
