*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] Album: Live Sessions, vol. 03 and Homesick for a Country

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.

This family is a national treasure.

How true! Karen Carpenter would have to appear on anyone’s short list as one of the greatest pop singers of all time.

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.

My gosh, a young group with real talent. Thank You

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

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!

I just love the mandolin player. She has the most amazing voice and she rocks those comfy sneakers like a boss.

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

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.

I so enjoy watching all of you play. You play with such genuine joy and I can see how deeply you feel the music. Well played, BRAVO!

What I like is she sang it like Katie ! She wasn't trying to be Karen while pay respect to Karen

How can you not enjoy hearing them sing.

Your voice is sweet, innocent, simple and natural madam. From the Philippines.

Pure & Natural !

Had to come back and watch and listen to this one again. You ALL are just AMAZING and THANK YOU for sharing your talents with the world!

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!! 💜

You pretty much put me on the top of the world, Katie. Thank you!

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!

Karen Carpenter would be looking down from heaven and would be proud of your version.

The woman who sang this song left a timeless legacy that hasn't and won't ever be forgotten. That being said, at no time while listening to this song did I ever think of the earlier version. Your own version of this song grabbed me, it's original and really good. Thanks for posting this.

I love how she smiles the entire time she's singing. Very fortunate to live in such a close knit family with so much love and support! Wish I'd have had a fraction of that. Great cover, Petersens!

Thank you for your good energies, hearing from you is just like caressing the heart

Guts required to cover Karen Carpenter. One of the most naturally gifted that we’ve seen. Amazing breath control. Julianne appears beautifully statuesque.

Katie...such a sweet and natural voice that gives joy in every song you sing. I look forward to attending your show when I visit Branson this summer.

More talent packed into one band than anything I've seen in a very long time.

Another awesome performance guys and gals and...yes...GIT IT MAMA!

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 !

The back and forth between the fiddle and dobro is really nice. Katie and Emmett making beautiful music together. ;)

I love this song. Your musical phrasing is fantastic - and gives a sweet and clear understanding of this well written lyrics. The blend of strings adds a joy to the phrasing of “top of the world” and why musically it is so!

It's a great gift for our creation that you exist ! Thank you so much ! Greatings from eastern France !

I'm so glad you guys are getting the recognition that you deserve. Hard work and perseverance do work. Here's to another 500k.

Nothing but joy for this family 💖
