►LYRICS - Top of the World
Such a feeling'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 clear, it's because you are here
You're 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 at the top of the world
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
An' 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
Well, 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 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 at the top of the world [x2]

This family should be a model our society. The values formed in these kids are extraordinary.
-
This family is a national treasure.
-
A lovely song, now magnificent! Katie is the perfect blend of beauty and grace, talent and personality.
-
I know that momma is a proud momma! Those children of hers are beautiful and talented!
-
Taking on Karen Carpenter is a very tall order - one of the clearest, nicest voices of all time. Very nicely done.
-
Its always a good day when a Petersen video pops up.
-
This is South Korea. Listening to your music makes me happy. I heartily thank you. The fact that you are a family makes you look happier. Music brings another happiness to families on the other side of the world to the image of a united family. Sometimes I listen to this music whenever I have a hard time. It makes me so happy. Ordinary daily life is energized by your music.

Real America is not the New York shown in Hollywood Movies where people run after money ….Real America is in the interiors, in the small Towns where people live happily and sing together as a Family ….and as a part of the large community …..and take time to be more with nature ….see the Guys Cycling in the background …..driving not in a hurry ….I am sure there must be a playful dog also around who is not covered in the video …

Any day that starts with the Peterson's singing is a good day! 😊♥️😊♥️😊♥️😊♥️
-
And suddenly you open YouTube and see a new video of the Petersens playing one of your favorite songs ever!
-
Katie’s voice is divine…& she is modest about it…bless her, I wish her happiness.
-
From Tokyo,I'm 57year old.This is my impressive song with childhood memories.I love it.
-
I can't believe y'all have chosen to perform this song. Top of the world was my grandmother's favourite song. Unfortunately, she died from cancer years ago. Watching my favourite band performing this song is just like when your favourite restaurant makes your favourite dish. Love from Israel!
-
You sing and play love. I hear and feel love. Nothing else matters. I thank you so much.
-
Why am I crying ? Instant teleportation to the 70s............ I wish I could go back and see how it was. Thanks a million.
-
My gosh, a young group with real talent. Thank You
-
My favorite song! I'm a homeschooling mom of five. We found you over the pandemic with Ellen and Michael singing Psalm 91. Love your family! God bless you all!
-
Thank you all of you! CONGRATULATIONS. Everybody wonders why it isn't more. You provide us with a lot more than great music. God Bless every one of you.

I've just spent 3 hours now going through many Peterson songs/videos. And it's come to me personally that the most important thing in life...is happiness. That's what puts me/us at the top of the world.
