Lyrics

(C)Such a feel in’s (G)com in’ (F)o ver (C)me,

there is (Em)won der in most (Dm)ev ’ry thing I (C)see,

not a (F)cloud in the sky,

(G7)got the (Em)sun in my (A7)eyes and I (Dm)pleas won’t be sur prised if it’s a dream.

(C)Ev ’ry thing I (G)want the world to (C)be,

is now (Em)com ing true es (Dm)pe cial (G7)ly for (C)me,

and the (F)rea son is (G)clear, it’s be (Em)cause for you are (A7)here, you’re the (Dm)near est thing to (D)heav en that I’ve (Gsus)seen.

I’m on the top of the world

look in’ down on cre a tion, and the (C)on ly ex pla na tion I can (C)find,

is the (F)love that I’ve (G)found, ev er (C)since you’ve been a (F)round.

Your love’s (C)put me at the (G7)top of the (C)world.

(C)Some thing in the (G)wind has (F)learned my (C)name,

and it’s (Em)tell in’ me that (Dm)things are not the (C)same,

in the (F)leaves on the trees

(G7)and the (Em)touch of the (A7)breeze, there’s a (Dm)pleas in’ sense of hap pi ness for me.

(C)There is on ly (G)one wish on my (C)mind,

when this (Em)day is through I (Dm)hope that (G7)I will (C)find,

that to (F)mor row will (G)be just the (Em)same for you and (A7)me, all I (Dm)need est will be (D)mine if you are (Gsus)here.

I’m on the top of the world

look in’ down on cre a tion, and the (C)on ly ex pla na tion I can (C)find,

is the (F)love that I’ve (G)found, ev er (C)since you’ve been a (F)round.

Your love’s (C)put me at the (G7)top of the (C)world.

Top Of The World by Carpenters — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Top Of The World” by Carpenters in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 120 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
