Top of the world...


Ah! This is a tribute to my most favourite English singer of all time, Karen Carpenter of The Carpenters. And this song which she so easily sung was not that easy for me. But I sure felt like on "Top of the world" after singing this one.

And Steve, I'm sure you'd be happy to see this post.

The lyrics:



Such a feelin's comin' 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.


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.


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.

  3. Hey Ekan!

    It took me a few capo changes but I managed to play the guitar along with you singing! We made quite a good team!

    I used to sing Close To You to my oldest son as he was growing. He's been such a hit with the ladies since he was a nipper, I found the song really fitting. Memory Lane! Thanks...x
