If you love somebody Better tell them while they�re here �cause They just may run away from you
You�ll never know quite when, well Then again it just depends on How long of time is left for you
I�ve had the highest mountains I�ve had the deepest rivers You can have it all but life keeps moving
I take it in but don�t look down
�Cause I�m on top of the world, �ay I�m on top of the world, �ay Waiting on this for a while now Paying my dues to the dirt I�ve been waiting to smile, �ay Been holding it in for a while, �ay Take you with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child I�m on top of the world.
I�ve tried to cut these corners Try to take the easy way out I kept on falling short of something
I coulda gave up then but Then again I couldn�t have �cause I�ve traveled all this way for something
I take it in but don�t look down
�Cause I�m on top of the world, �ay I�m on top of the world, �ay Waiting on this for a while now Paying my dues to the dirt I�ve been waiting to smile, �ay Been holding it in for a while, �ay Take you with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child I�m on top of the world.
Oh, oh oh oh oh.
�Cause I�m on top of the world, �ay I�m on top of the world, �ay Waiting on this for a while now Paying my dues to the dirt I�ve been waiting to smile, �ay Been holding it in for a while, �ay Take you with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child
And I know it�s hard when you�re falling down And it�s a long way up when you hit the ground Get up now, get up, get up now.
And I know it�s hard when you�re falling down And it�s a long way up when you hit the ground Get up now, get up, get up now.
�Cause I�m on top of the world, �ay I�m on top of the world, �ay Waiting on this for a while now Paying my dues to the dirt I�ve been waiting to smile, �ay Been holding it in for a while, �ay Take you with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child I�m on top of the world. =======================================================
