Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can see everything for up here
City gates, river Seine
Yes, it sparkles in the light
I'm glad I can get to
To see things down there
Gazing down from the top of the world
Suddenly seeing a different city
Things look tiny and friendly and fair
Seen from the top of the world
[Verse 2]
When you look from high above
Everything seems pretty
Seeing life from the top of the world
Nothing needs fighting
And no one needs pity
[Verse 3]
Thanks for giving this moment to me
When just for a moment, things stop
Here at the top of the world
[Verse 4]
For all these years
You've stayed alone
And free from danger
We've shared your fears
It wasn't safe
To trust a stranger
But maybe we were wrong here
Could she belong here
[Verse 5]
This girl appears
And she is kind
And we're admitting
We'd give three cheers
To see you both
Forever sitting
Look at you sitting on top of the world
[Verse 6]
Seeing life from the top of the world (This girl, she isn't, she's not)
Nothing needs fighting (And we're admitting)
And no one needs pity
Thanks for giving this moment to me (We'd give three cheers)
When just for a moment, things stop (Forever sitting)
Here at the top of the world (Look at us sitting on top of the world)
Here at the top of the world
[Verse 7]
Quasimodo say something
Take our advice
Be brave and say something
Please don't think twice
Quasimodo say some
[Verse 8]
Esmeralda
Yes?
I, I, it's nice, the two of us sitting
The two of us sitting
The two of you sitting
Sitting on top of the world
