Top of the world.

Such a feelin’s comin’ over me

There is wonder in most everything 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.

Something in the wind has learnt 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 pleasant sense of happiness for me.

There’s only one wish on my mind

When the day is through I hope 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.

My take

Karen Carpenter at her best and an all time favourite!

Tailpiece.

Got up at a half past 3, the chores and was ready by a half past 5. Anto had driven me to the railway station. Lekhs is gonna be there, alone, for a couple of days when Rema, Padmakumar and Mini would join her during the weekend.

Got the passenger train that left Guruvayur by 0640 hrs.  Spent an hour in the a/c comfort room, at Thrissur, before my train, the Jan Shatabdi left for Tvpm by a 13 mts past 8.

Reached the Foundation by 2. Had lunch given by Lekha soon after and at 4, I’d gone across to Poojappura for the evening’s function at Muthachhan’s feet. Today, it was the Narayaneeyam paaraayanam by Indirakkutty's Vanamali group. It was nice!

An early evening at Maman's place and it was yakkitiyak!
