Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never been happy with anyone
Like I am when I'm with you, yeah
Look at the sun shining up in the sky
And I feel a little closer to heaven, baby
When I'm looking into your eyes, yeah
As long as we're together, boy
Wanna feel this way forever, boy
I'm sitting on top of the world, oh, yeah, yeah
Last night I lay in the dark
Tryin' to figure it out
Tryin' to talk to my heart, but
Now it's morning and I still don't know why
All I know is that you got me feeling so good, baby
All I know is that it feels the way that true love should
Ain't no one luckier than you and I
And as long as we're together, boy
I'm sitting on top of the world
Wanna feel this way forever, boy
I'm sitting on top of the world, oh, yeah, yeah
Everybody's got an opinion 'bout how this should be
But they don't understand it
No, no, they just can't see, yeah
That I belong with you and baby, baby
Baby, you belong with me, yeah, yeah
And as long as we're together, boy
I'm sitting on top of the world
Wanna feel this way forever, boy
I'm sitting on top of the world, yeah
And as long as we're together, boy
I'm sitting on top
Said, I'm sitting on top
I'm sitting on top of the world, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said, my baby loves me
Baby's so good to me
I know he needs me 'cause
Baby's so good to me, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No, I've never been happy, baby
Like I am when I get next to you

It was one of the first albums I bought when I was still a teenager... my aunt borrowed it and never gave back... can't blame her :)

Many years ago I played this song to serenade my girlfriend. I played it while we were sitting in my car, on my Alpine stereo. It was a nice sunny day and the sky was blue. We have since broken up.
My hope for the future is to serenade a very special woman that I recently met. The future is so far away.

i find this distressing - i always thought this was a big hit. i bought the album, for this song. 6000 views is not even on the radar. the LeAnn Rimes version only has 30,000 views. when it was released, i heard LeAnn's cover of it, on the radio, every day! 30k is even worse, in the US, than 6k is in Canada. this is a great song. are there only 6000 canucks who get it?
