I stood on top of the world and saw your arms reach out
I stood on top of the world and heard you call me
I stood on top of the world and felt your warm hands
I stood on top of the world and tasted your fresh air
I stood on top of the world and smelled your fresh pines
When I stood up there, I thought of you
I thought of your kindness
I thought of your warm embrace
I thought of your wonderful sense of humor
I thought of your love for me
I thought of you and me
I thought of you.
