Top of the world - The Carpenters.
The Carpenters (officially named Carpenters)[1] were an American vocal and instrumental duo
consisting of siblings Karen and Richard Carpenter.
Together, they produced a distinctively soft musical style, later becoming one
of the best-selling music artists of all time. During their 14-year career,
the Carpenters recorded 11 albums, thirty-one singles, five television
specials, and a short-lived television series. They
were ended in 1983 by Karen’s death from heart
failure brought
on by complications of anorexia.
Extensive news coverage surrounding the circumstances of her death increased
public awareness of eating
disorders.[2][3]
The duo’s brand of melodic pop produced a record-breaking run of hit
recordings on the American
Top 40 and Adult Contemporary charts, and they became leading sellers in
the soft
rock, easy
listening and adult contemporary genres. Carpenters had three No. 1
singles and five No. 2 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and fifteen No. 1 hits on the Adult Contemporary chart. In addition, they had twelve top 10
singles. To date, Carpenters’ album and single sales total more than 100
million units.[4]

Top Of The World Lyrics
Such a feelin's comin' over me
There is wonder in 'most ev'ry thing 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 comin' 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 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
Somethin' 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
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
There is wonder in 'most ev'ry thing 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 comin' 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 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
Somethin' 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
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

Lyrics
"Somebody
Loves You" was written by Tobias, Charles/de Rose, Peter.
Somebody loves you, I want you to know
Longs to be near you where ever you go
Somebody loves you and right from the start
Happiness flew into someone's heart
Somebody loves you each hour of
the day
When you're around dear or when you're away
Somebody loves you sweetheart, can't you see?
And that somebody is me
When you're around dear or when you're away
Somebody loves you sweetheart, can't you see?
And that somebody is me
Somebody loves you each hour of
the day
When you're around dear or when you're away
Somebody loves you sweetheart, can't you see?
And that somebody is me
Oh yeah, and that somebody is me
When you're around dear or when you're away
Somebody loves you sweetheart, can't you see?
And that somebody is me
Oh yeah, and that somebody is me

The original lyrics
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo - Shelby Flint
On every tree there sits a bird, singing
a song of love
On every tree there sits a
bird, and ev'ryone I ever heard
Could break my heart without
a word singing a song of love
A song of love is a sad song,
Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of
woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad
song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and
watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love
again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A tear for him, a tear for
me, A tear for the love he swore
A tear for him and one for
me, and one for under the cedar tree
And one for where ever my
love my be, and then I shall weep no more
A song of love is a sad
song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of
woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad
song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and
watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow i'll probably love
again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
