Our Father and Daughter Song

Top of the World by The Carpenters

This song is very special to me. It never fails to cheer me up and is one of the songs my dad and I will hum or sing together without fail since I was a kid whenever it's played over the radio.

Even more special are the moments when he'll do his thing on the guitar and we'll sing it together at night :D

You Tube has a Sing -along version of this song which I've uploaded, try singing it when you're down, it'll definitely put a smile on your face! :D

Top of the World

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 clearIt'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
