"Top of the World" 作为 Carpenters 的歌，已经非常古老了（1973年，咳……）。不过这样节奏鲜明的歌还是非常朗朗上口的，第一次听的时候就觉得，自己马上就能哼出来~这首歌的歌词并不算难，没有很艰涩的词汇，只有些常见歌曲都有的词句倒装和比喻。
Top of the World
Such a feeling's coming over me.
There is a 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're here.
You are the nearest thing to heaven
That I've seen.
I'm on the top of the world
Looking 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 on the top of the world.
Something in the wind has learned my name,
And it's telling me that things are not the same.
In the leaves on the trees,
And the touch of the breeze,
There's a pleasing 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.
