    1. Such a feeling's coming over me  
                 Bm             Am           G  
       There is wonder in most everything I see  
              C            D           Bm        Em  
       Not a cloud in the sky got the sun in my eyes  
            Am            Am7              D  
       And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

       Is now coming true, especially for me  
              C            D           Bm        Em

       I'm on the - top of the world  
                  C  
       Looking - down on creation  
                G         Am           G  
       And the only explanation I can find  
               C           D          G                  C

                 Bm             Am           G  
       And it's telling me that things are not the same  
              C            D           Bm        Em  
       In the leaves of the trees and the touch of the breeze  
            Am            Am7              D  
       There's a place of sense and happiness for me  


        G                D      C    G   
    4. There is only one wish on my mind  
                 Bm             Am           G  
       When this is thru I hope that I will find  
              C            D           Bm        Em  
       That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me  
            Am            Am7              D  
       All I need will be mine if you are here

       And the only explanation I can find  
               C           D          G                  C  
       Is the love that I found ever since you've been around
