There is wonder in the things I see

Not a cloud in the sky
    E minorEm    Am/E
Got the sun in my eyes

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

Something in the wind has learned my name

In the leaves on the trees

[these ad-lib lyrics start after one time through the chords]
Top of the world
 (Such a feeling coming over me now)
Top of the world
 (Every thing I want the world to be now)
Top of the world
 (Keeping on top)
On Top, top of the world.
Top of the world
I?m top now. I?m on the top now. Yeh
Top of the world
I?m top top top top top
Top of the world
[End with Riff alone]
