Trivia

Wist je dat? Op de B-kant staat het instrumentale "Heather", gecomponeerd door Johnny Pearson. De titel was een idee van de moeder van Richard en Karen, Agnes.
Iedereen die op 31 augustus 1974 naar het laatste uiur van Radio Veronica luisterde, zal het herkennen als de achtergrondmuziek tijdens Rob Outs afscheidswoorden van het radiostation, de speech die eindigde met een tikkende klok op de achtergrond: "Het is tijd geworden om afscheid te nemen. Een verschrikkelijk gevoel. Een periode wordt afgesloten. Er sterft iets. Bij het afscheid nemen van Veronica, sterft ook een beetje de democratie in Nederland. Dat spijt me, voor Nederland."

Songtekst

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 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
