Such a feelin's comin' over me 
C     C  C  C   C  C   F      F C C C C   C C C C   
There is wonder in the things I see 
      F             
Not a cloud in the sky 
        Em        
Got the sun in my eyes 
      Dm           F               G 
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream 


C    C     C C    C   C    F F C C C C   C C F F   
Everything I want the world to be 
C  C  C   C    Dm Dm  Dm  Dm  C C C C   C C C C   
Is coming true especially for me 
        F             
And the reason is clear 
       Em        
It's because you are here 
           Dm               F                G 
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen 


           C                        C 
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation 
        C         F            C 
And the only explanation I can find 
       C              Dm         Em                F 
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around 
C           G      N.C.       
Your love's put me on the

Something in the wind has learned my name 
C   C   C  C    C     C   F F      C C C C   C C C C   
telling me that things are not the same 
       F             
In the leaves on the trees 
        Em        
and the touch of the breeze 
          Dm                F             G 
There's a pleasant sense of happiness for me 


C     C  C C  C   C    F F   C C C C   C C F F   
There is only one wish on my mind 
C    C    C   C  Dm      Dm Dm  Dm   C C C C   C C C C   
When this day is through I hope I'll find 
       F             
That tomorrow will be 
    Em        
the same for you and me 
      Dm           F               G 
All I need will be mine if you are here 

           C                        C 
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation 
        C         F            C 
And the only explanation I can find 
       C              Dm         Em                F
