Such a feeling's coming 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 telling me that things are not the same In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze Is a pleasin' sence 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

Wish that I was on old Rocky Top down in the Tennessee hills Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top ain't no telephone bills Once I had a man on Rocky Top half bear the other half cat Wild as a mink but sweet as soda pop I still dream about that Rocky Top you'll always be home sweet home to me Good ole Rocky Top Rocky Top Tennessee Rocky Top Tennessee
Once two strangers climbed old Rocky Top looking for a moonshine still Straingers ain't come down from Rocky Top I reckon they never will Corn won't grow at all on Rocky Top the dirt's too rocky by far That's why all the folks on Rocky Top get their corn from a jar Rocky Top you'll always be... [ banjo - steel ] I've had years of cramped up city life trapped like a duck in a pen All I know is it's a pity life can't be simple again Rocky Top you'll always be... Rocky Top Tennessee
How can I unsay the things I said to you? And how can I undo the things that we used to do? Tell me how can I unfeel the way I feel for you? How can I unlove you?
How can I untight the hold that you got on me? When you won't unchain my heart and set me free I can't unremember every memory So how can I unlove you?
I'll never, never uncry the tears That I cried when you said goodbye No, I'll never, never unmiss The thrill that I missed when we used to kiss, oh
How can I unsay the things I said to you? And how can I undo the things that we used to do? Tell me how can I unfeel the way I feel for you? How can I unlove you?

And then she holds my hand, mm And then I understand. mm Her eyes afire with one desire Then a heavenly kiss Could I resist? And then she dims the light, mm And then she holds me tight. mm Her kiss, each fond caress They lead the way to happiness She takes me to paradise
And then he holds my hand, mm And then I understand. mm His eyes afire with one desire Then a heavenly kiss Could I resist? And then he dims the light, mm And then he holds me tight. mm Her kiss, each fond caress They lead the way to happiness She takes me to paradise
You had quite good thing goin' with the girls you used to knowin' You went up and down your list just like a yo-yo And though it may be hard to stop it I'm afraid you'll have to drop it Cause if you want me to love you that's a no no I know you're used to goin' places where's there lights and painted faces Where the dancing girls do something they call go-go I don't want to spoil your fun now but if I'm the only one now And if you want me to love you that's a no no You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch if baby really loves his mama so much So if you just can't resist 'em if they're not out of your system And if there's some more wild oats you've got to go sow Just remember while you're sowin' I'll be a packin' up and goin' Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no
You know a no no means baby shouldn't touch if baby really loves his mama so much So if some old flame starts burnin' or if you should get to yearnin' To go back to where those women that you know go Don't come home expecting mama's a waitin' here in her pajamas Cause I've told you many times that that's a no no Oh you should know by now that's a no no Yeah you should know by now that that's a no no
> Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire-proof Under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be (Under the boardwalk) out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun (Under the boardwalk) people walking above (Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love Under the board-walk (board-walk!) From the park you hear the happy sound of a carousel Mm-mm, you can almost taste the hot dogs and French fries they sell Under the boardwalk, down by the sea On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be (Under the boardwalk) out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun (Under the boardwalk) people walking above (Under the boardwalk) we'll be making love Under the board-walk (board-walk!) [break] Oooooh, under the boardwalk, down by the sea, yeah On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be (Under the boardwalk) out of the sun (Under the boardwalk) we'll be havin' some fun (Under the boardwalk) people walking above (Under the boardwalk) we'll be falling in love Under the board-walk (board-walk!)
It's Saturday night and my daddy's up late pickin' with my uncle Bill The neighbors don't mind cause they have a good time sippin' on my pappy's still Old brother Ben got a fiddle in his hands and mama's on the mandolin When the music is right and the band is tight you want to see 'em pick and grin Well everybody starts movin' to the sound of the guitar strums Everybody starts groovin' to the beat of the rhythm and drums So come on along get yourself really on rock to the music and fun Sip that wine and have a really good time and listen to a country song Old sheriff Brown whenever comes around knockin' on a cold backdoor It's a matter of fact you can find him outback pickin' on his old banjo My brother Jack sneaks out from the back tryin' to get to sister Sue Watch him closin' on the ground about turnin' around she knows a little jujitsu Everybody starts movin'... Everybody starts movin'... Just sip that wine and have a really good time and listen to a country song
[Chorus] Oh, mama, oh, mama Who told you that lie? Whoever told you That big girls don't cry
When I was a baby on my mama's knee She would kiss all my teardrops away so tenderly I'd get hurt and the tear would well up in my eye Then she hold me and tell me that big girls don't cry
[Chorus]
Then out of nowhere like an angel he came I fell for his kisses and he promised me a ring He held me, caressed me, then told me goodbye Mama, don't let them tell you that big girls don't cry
I cried a tear, you wiped it dry. I was confused, you cleared my mind. I sold my soul, you bought it back for me And held me up and gave me dignity. Somehow you needed me. You gave me strength to stand alone again To face the world out on my own again. You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I can almost see eternity, you needed me, you needed me And I can't believe it's you, I can't believe it's true. I needed you and you were there and I'll never leave Why should I leave I'd be a fool Cause I've finally found someone who really cares.
You held my hand when it was cold. When I was lost, you took me home. You gave me hope, when I was at the end, And turned my lies back into truth again. You even called me friend. You gave me strength to stand alone again To face the world out on my own again. You put me high upon a pedestal So high that I can almost see eternity, you needed me, you needed me you needed me you needed me
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's got to be a little rain sometime When you take you got to give So live and let live or let go Oh, oh, oh, I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden I could promise you things Like big diamond rings But you don't find roses Growing on stalks of clover So you better think it over When it's sweet talking you could make it come true I would give you the world right now On a silver platter But what would it matter So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times While we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's got to be a little rain sometime
I beg your parden I never promised you a rose garden I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go But there's one thing I want you to know You better look before you leap Still waters run deep And there won't always be someone There to pull you out And you know what I'm talkin' about So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy Come along and share the good times While we can I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's got to be a little rain sometime I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
