►LYRICS - Top of the World
Such a feeling'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 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 looking 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
Somethin' in the wind has learned my name
An' 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 pleasing sense of happiness for me
Well, 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 looking 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 [x2]

Amazing job on the Closed Captions, Liz! And funny too! Thanks!
Thanks, Liz, Love the Captions
Thanks guys, think I’ve finished the Aaron back catalogue now. Every time I think I’ve caught up they release another 10 songs 😆
Hi there Liz! Every time a new one comes out I scroll down to find my old friend. So grateful that you're doing captions now too. I remember laughing when I read "Matt torments Karen"
God Bless you and yours Liz
Thanks Liz!
And suddenly you open TH-cam and see a new video of the Petersens playing one of your favorite songs ever!
I know what you mean. It brings back a lot of wonderful memories to me and they are sooooo talented.
Taking on Karen Carpenter is a very tall order - one of the clearest, nicest voices of all time. Very nicely done.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Karen Carpenter had one of the purest voices ever. A tall order indeed and very successfully done.
She guided Katie.
@@jonstefanik9400 yes!
Agreed! ✨🎶🎤🪕👏
Yah, no joke. I don't hear anyone event trying to do this song like Karen. Maybe impossible!!!
This is South Korea. Listening to your music makes me happy. I heartily thank you. The fact that you are a family makes you look happier. Music brings another happiness to families on the other side of the world to the image of a united family. Sometimes I listen to this music whenever I have a hard time. It makes me so happy. Ordinary daily life is energized by your music.
I know that momma is a proud momma! Those children of hers are beautiful and talented!
Its always a good day when a Petersen video pops up.
Yes
I agree!
Too true!
Yesss!
😀😀😀😀😀😀
This family is a national treasure.
Don’t like the butchering of the original song .
A beautiful part of the US identity and culture!
International too!
@@francoisdhs5610 I think you'd get more culture in a yoghurt...
I agree with you completely
Katie’s voice is divine…& she is modest about it…bless her, I wish her happiness.
From Tokyo,I'm 57year old.This is my impressive song with childhood memories.I love it.
My favorite song! I'm a homeschooling mom of five. We found you over the pandemic with Ellen and Michael singing Psalm 91. Love your family! God bless you all!
I can't believe y'all have chosen to perform this song. Top of the world was my grandmother's favourite song. Unfortunately, she died from cancer years ago. Watching my favourite band performing this song is just like when your favourite restaurant makes your favourite dish. Love from Israel!
Stay strong mate
@@pischpilot Thanks!
@Kin Yang Yes.
This video has 3.5 million views and only 50K upvotes. My Family settled here in Missouri almost 300 years ago. I am proud to have you here.
Why am I crying ?
Instant teleportation to the 70s............
I wish I could go back and see how it was. Thanks a million.
You sing and play love. I hear and feel love. Nothing else matters. I thank you so much.
Wow! Powerful
Karen Carpenter had one of the most beautiful and remarkable voices ever! Very brave to take on one of her biggest hits. And you did GREAT!!!
How true! Karen Carpenter would have to appear on anyone’s short list as one of the greatest pop singers of all time.
This made a 52 year old man weep! Thank you for sharing this...Much love from India/Roby.
love from France, thanks a lot for Karen i miss her each day in my life.
Any day that starts with the Peterson's singing is a good day! 😊♥️😊♥️😊♥️😊♥️
This family should be a model our society. The values formed in these kids are extraordinary.
I LOVE KATIE!
LOVE KATIE!
KATIE!
They are a living Van Trapp family.
@@juanlu3958 Who doesn't? :-)
I have a crush for Ellen,
But They're all loveble!!💞
Amen!
Pure & Natural !
Danke Katie, danke Familie Petersens für für die die schöne Zeit mit Euch. Ich genieße es immer wieder euch zu zuhören. Besonders in der heutigen Zeit seid ihr ihr ein Sonnenstrahl am dunklen Himmel. ❤Danke, Danke, Danke
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😘
Karen Carpenter is smiling right now in Heaven....Katie you sing so beautifully...all of you are so talented.God Bless this wonderful family...congratulations and greetings from the British Virgin Islands....one love to all
So much talent and generosity in one family...and a friend! lol
Nobody else will ever be Karen Carprenter. And nobody else will ever be The Petersens. I love this so much. The best way to do covers is to make them your own and you guys do that with so many classic songs.
A musical work achieved with professionalism and height, in its genre and family. Top of the World is a 1972 song written and composed by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis and recorded for the first time by the American pop duo Carpenters. It was a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit for the duo for two consecutive weeks in 1973. congratulations. greetings from colombia
🎵Happy Birthday to you..🎵 Ellen Haygood. Have a nice day. 🎂🌷
I am Brazilian and I really appreciate the songs of this beautiful family! God bless you guys !
When I was a child, I studied English with Carpenters songs.
And now I’m enjoying your playing “ Top of the world”
Thank you all Pertersens, love from Tokyo, 🇯🇵.
I've just spent 3 hours now going through many Peterson songs/videos. And it's come to me personally that the most important thing in life...is happiness. That's what puts me/us at the top of the world.
A lil slice of heaven in mist of a world full of strife. Thank you! I needed this. Blessings to all of you!
The Petersens!! Real music, real people and real talent!! They are the one bright spot in the year of Covid! I am so glad to have come across this group. They are not only an excellent group of musicians; they are also the type of family that everyone should strive to have. When The Petersens sing the sun comes out!!!
Lovely cover of the Carpenters. Karen is unsurpassed! Thank you for remembering/highlighting Karen's unequalled performance.
It's awesome...to replicate a Carpenters song and do more than mere justice.' The Petersens have breathed new life and melody into a timeless classic Congratulations 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you all of you! CONGRATULATIONS.
Everybody wonders why it isn't more. You provide us with a lot more than great music. God Bless every one of you.
Then again, I don't know a lot of unknowns who grown to 500k in a year
Amen 🙏
What a voice! What a smile that melts your heart! We are a 1/2 million people around the world that doesn't want to miss a beat from the Petersens!
What a beautiful tone . Mesmerizing . Love from India . ❤❤❤
I repeat it again, katie has an angelic voice ❤
These videos are a breath of fresh air
There's magic in this video. I play this video, and my day starts to shine.
It's a great gift for our creation that you exist ! Thank you so much ! Greatings from eastern France !
Real America is not the New York shown in Hollywood Movies where people run after money ….Real America is in the interiors, in the small Towns where people live happily and sing together as a Family ….and as a part of the large community …..and take time to be more with nature ….see the Guys Cycling in the background …..driving not in a hurry ….I am sure there must be a playful dog also around who is not covered in the video …
You’re exactly right about the real America Jatinder. I wish more people around the world understood it like you do.
I’m in New York City right now, and have spent my whole life (76years) here. I thoroughly enjoy every Petersen Video. Please don’t paint us all with the same brush.
Amen!!
You are so right my friend!
It's both
Magical !! Mesmerizing !! Magnificent!!
Katie's singing is so beautiful and she can make that violin SING!!!
Katie's voice is at the top of the world.
ใช่ครับเพราะมากเลย
You meltin my heart
One of my favorite songs ever. I loved Karen Carpenter's version and it's so nice to hear that you guys can do a very exceptional job on it while doing a whole different style. Great job.
So wonderful. Brought some sad tears for Karen Carpenter but you guys did such a great job with this beautiful song.
There'll never be another voice like Karen's.
@@dolvaran Never,one in a trillion!
I began to subscribe " The Petersens" when it was 11K . Congratulations !! It is a matter of time to reach 1 million !!!
I love the beautiful and unique voice of Karen Carpenter, but your voice doesn't have to hide from it. Great interpretation of "Top of the World". Thank you for that!
Branson 2023! Have to see you guys live.
TH-cam would be very empty without you guys. Love to all. Congrats and keep on doing your thing.
You pretty much put me on the top of the world, Katie. Thank you!
They are even better live, went to a show in Branson was the highlight of my trip.
Hi. I am Paul Seo. Korea
Thanks for giving me beautiful harmony~~~!
Love it when Katie sings. Thx Petersens for that beautiful music! Greetings from Germany :)
Me too! They are all amazing in their own way: Emmett with his very discreet yet powerfuill dobro vocalizations, Julianne with her 'Adam Steffy subtlety' on the mando (and unique awesome voice), Ellen with her super versitale voice and killer banjo skills, Matt with his solid guitar and fantastic harmonies (and great sense of humor) , 'Get it Momma' with the absolute perfect back-beat... and Katie with her grace, fiddeling, charm and overall musical brilliancy. Skill, love, practice, skill, a dash of humility, practice, practice, practice, skill, more humility and finally a large measure of good will. Thajks P. family. You alays help make my day.
Congrats Petersens! Thank you for the joy you've brought to everyone.
I sit here doing my writing to the beautiful sounds of The Petersens. Thank you so much.
Definitely the voice of katie is so expresive, soft, simple but deep, makes feel strong feelings in this playing.
Yes! And you have to hear Katie Petersen singing at her church in Branson, Missouri! It is amazing! th-cam.com/video/nLC6I47tjHY/w-d-xo.html
Nothing but joy for this family 💖
Congratulations on reaching 500K subscribers! That's about 10 football stadiums full of people. Not bad, guys, not bad at all.
That’s so refreshing thank you so much 🇺🇸
I can not stop watching. Great video and song. Wheeling west Virginia.
Katie's voice is always a pleasure to hear. Very nice song and beautiful performance from y'all.
Just when you thought the Petersens couldn't make their harmonies any better... 😂 🎶 ❤️
AWESOME JOB GUYS!
Playing music and singing harmony, especially with your siblings, has to be one of the most pleasurable things you can do. Your enjoyment is contagious, especially Ellen’s and Katie’s!
Katie has a beautiful voice!
It is natural and pure!
Once again the Petersens brought a smile on my face
SWEET!! Karen Carpenter is *so* smiling down on this gorgeous version! 🙏💙💙
What a beautiful family.
I just love the mandolin player. She has the most amazing voice and she rocks those comfy sneakers like a boss.
A soothing rendition of a beautiful song.
Thanks a lot for your music!
To me you are a very special American band. I listen to you much more often than other American bands, because you have some kind of magic.
Greetings from Russia!! 💜
Karen Carpenter is definitely "looking down on creation" and glad you, The Petersens, have made it to the "Top of the World!"
More talent packed into one band than anything I've seen in a very long time.
One of my favorite groups! Karen left us too soon! However, she would be envious of the job that you did with this song. Katie, you sing so beautifully and so effortlessly. All of you are so talented.
There is no other way to say it... "I love listening to you sing"!
아름다운 노래....추억이 깃든 노래 입니다.
오랫 만에 들으니 감회가 새롭습니다...멋진 하모니와 아름다운 사람들이 함께 하니 너무나 좋습니다....감동입니다.
한국에서...
So much soul, so much love, so much Katie.
Guys, you spread light in such enormous amounts - thank you! :-)
“Such a feeling coming over me...” Yes, just listening to you all! Thank you for the gift of your beautiful music and delightful personalities. Videos like these have helped me through many years of chronic illness and resulting social isolation. Music from people like you brings me peace and happiness, helping me let go of anxiety, fear, and stress in favor of more positive things. Thank you for that!! May God bless you all ten times over for the many blessings you have given to all of us!
Another awesome performance guys and gals and...yes...GIT IT MAMA!
I melt into their music
The whole family is here talented /GIFTED
What a BLESSING!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE AN INSPIRATION!!! GOD BLESS YOU GUYS ! GRETTINGS FROM SPAIN

You folks are amazing. I feel such joy listening to your music! It really helps lift my spirits after 7 months in the hospital. I love you all! And thank you for spreading the love and joy in your music 🎶. 🥰🙂
How can you not enjoy hearing them sing.
When Katie sings "around" her voice is just angelic
Your ability to stay true to the original song while making it your own is amazing. Thank you!
I've never heard, or seen, anything so beautiful. As others here have said, "water works." The way you all can tap into emotions is a truly remarkable gift indeed.
Very very beautiful 🎵🎵🎵💙💙💙👍
I have chills, and tears.
This just sent shivers down my spine and brought a tear to my eye. I haven't heard this song since I was 4 or 5 years old. I remember singing it with a few other children at the babysitters house. The babysitters name was Gladys. One of the little girls there was teaching us boys how sing it "right". She must have taught us well because I remembered every word to the chorus. It probably didn't hurt that the song came on the radio every 5 minutes back then.
Katie I so love your voice. It is beautiful. !
I just love you guys you are so awesome guess we going to have to travel to Branson to see you
Beatiful early spring day here in England and your version of "Top of the World" captured the mood perfectly in spite of all the troubles in the world.
It is so encouraging that the song filled with innocent, joyful and romantic America is still being sung live today. The song lives true to our heart and to this family band in Branson. And we all can sing along by being positive and strong and by bringing forth from our heart deep down, our inherent joy of life and feeling of being on the top of the world. Thank you, Petersen !
Congratulations on the 500,000 subscribers! Petersens, you are top of the world for me, you guys deserve 50,000,000 subscribers
IMO. Katie Petersen has the voice of an angel...
