Top Of The World

 
Such a feelin's coming over me
There is wonder in most ev'ry thing 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.
 
Ev'rything 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 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 learned my name,
and it's tellin' me that things are not the same,
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze,
there's a pleasin' 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.
 
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
 
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

Yesterday Once More

When I was young 
I'd listen to the radio 
Waiting for my favorite songs 
When they played I'd sing along 
It made me smile 
 
Those were such happy times 
And not so long ago 
How I wondered where they'd gone 
But they're back again 
Just like a long lost friend 
All the songs I loved so well 
 
(*) Every Sha-la-la-la 
Every Wo-wo-wo 
Still shines 
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling 
That they started to sing 
So fine 
 
When they get to the part 
Where he's breakin' her heart 
It can really make me cry 
Just like before 
It's yesterday once more 
 
Looking back on how it was 
In years gone by 
And the good times that I had 
Makes today seem rather sad 
So much has changed 
 
It was songs of love that 
I would sing to then 
And I'd memorize each word 
Those old melodies 
Still sound so good to me 
As they melt the years away 
 
Repeat (*) 
 
All my best memories 
Come back clearly to me 
Some can even make me cry 
Just like before 
It's yesterday once more 

Only Yesterday

After long enough of being alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was goin' through
And waitin' was all my heart could do
 
Hope was all I had until you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light
Filing the world surrounding me
When I hold you
 
(*) Baby, Baby
Feels like maybe things will be all right
Baby, Baby
Your love's made me
Free as a song singin' forever
 
(**) Only yesterday when I was sad
And I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave
The past and all its tears behind me
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away
Only Yesterday
 
I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
Life waits for us
Share it with me
The best is about to be
So much is left for us to see
When I hold you

Please Mister Postman

Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman
(Wait)
Wait Mister Postman
 
Please Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine
 
There must be some word today
From my boyfriend so far away
Please Mister Postman, look and see
If there's a letter, a letter for me
 
I've been standin' here waitin' Mister Postman
So patiently
For just a card, or just a letter
Sayin' he's returnin' home to me
 
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
(Oh yeah)
For me to hear from that boy of mine?
 
So many days you passed me by
See the tears shinin' in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter
 
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
(Oh yeah)
If there's a letter in your bag for me
(Please, Please Mister Postman)
Why's it takin' such a long time
 
(Why don't you check it and see one more time for me, you gotta)
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
(Mister Postman)
Mister Postman, look and see
 
(C'mon deliver the letter, the sooner the better)
Mister Postman
