what are these lyrics all about... ? surely a mortal human would not be able to see the whole of the world from such a low flat cols and desolate place... your thoughts.. also do you think that the carpenters were on drugs when they wrote this, its the only way you could explain the odd lyrics and swimmy melody.. or were they just into inbreeding?

Duh? When people say they are on the top of the world they don't mean physically - it means they feel great, unfettered, unsquashed, nothing holding them down - presumably in this case because of "the love that I've found ever since you've been around".
And I like the tune.

I think this is a great song,and Karen Carpenter was one of the greatest vocalists of all time. They werent on drugs! Merely making music. As for the inbreeding comment, thats really bad taste.

Karen Carpenter was less of a 'deep thought' kinda musician and more of a 'make a buck' kinda girl. That explains the recording.
John Bettis, on the other hand, was just short. That may explain the lyrics.

why do the songs lyrics need to mean something, most of todays songs mean nothing or are full of inuendo and double meanings.

Love songs tend to be like that, all exaggerated and sappy
