Top Of The World
Jette Torp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Something 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
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
The lyrics of Jette Torp's song Top Of The World express a sense of overwhelming happiness and contentment that comes from being in love. The opening lines describe the feeling of wonder and amazement that the singer experiences, as if everything in the world is perfect and beautiful. The absence of clouds and the bright sun add to the idyllic scene, but the singer acknowledges that it may all be too good to be true, perhaps just a dream.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the source of the singer's happiness is her lover. She describes how her deepest desires have all come true since they have been together, and that being with them feels like being in heaven. The chorus expresses this feeling in the strongest way, with the singer declaring that she feels like she is on top of the world, looking down on creation. She credits this feeling entirely to the love that her partner has given her.
The second verse continues to describe the magical feeling that the singer is experiencing. She believes that something in the wind has carried her name, and that the world around her is conveying a sense of happiness just for her. She expresses her hope that the joy she feels will continue into the next day, and that her partner will remain by her side. The final chorus repeats the central message of the song, that the love that the singer has found has put her at the top of the world, and that nothing else could make her happier.

Got the sun in my eyes
The sun is shining brightly and I can feel its warmth

I imagine a world filled with joy and happiness
Is now coming true especially for me
My life is getting better and all my dreams are coming true
And the reason is clear
I know the reason for my happiness
It's because you are here

In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
The wind blowing through the trees makes me feel happy
There's a pleasin' sense of happiness for me
I feel a sense of contentment and happiness
There is only one wish on my mind
I have only one wish for myself right now
When this day is through I hope that I will find
By the end of the day, I hope that my wish comes true
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
I hope that we will have another happy day tomorrow
All I need will be mine if you are here
As long as you are here with me, I have everything I need
