Top Of The World
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in most every thing 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 comin' 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

And 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

Somethin' 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

And 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





Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Dino Ramone

This type of song was made for them. You listen to The Carpenters and think that with its half decent melody, this song would sound great played by a punk rock band. This is one of their best.

+Dino Ramone Exactly, not the first punk cover of this; check out Shonen Knife's.
