*Top Of The World
詞 John Bettis
曲 Richard Carpenter
Such a feeling's coming over me
There is wondering most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And ! 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
Something in the wind has learned my name
And 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
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
*解
由John Bettis及Richard Carpenter共同合作完成。歌曲本身輕快且跳動的旋律，使新專
輯出版後聽眾們對"Top of the World"這首歌的反應熱烈。
使得理查開始考慮要把它出成單曲。不過他對原先的錄音並不是很滿意，打算重新來過才
正式推出，而還沒有等到新的錄音完工，鄉村女歌手Lynn Anderson/琳安德森已經搶先一
步，推出了翻唱的版本，並且直衝鄉村排行的榜首。這也可以說是幫了他們一個大忙，等
到他們自己的版本推出，簡直不費吹灰之力就奪得冠軍，成了木匠兄妹本身作品的第一支
冠軍曲。
