The Hunchback of Notre Dame the Musical - Top of the World Lyrics

QUASIMODO
Can see everything from up here. City gates. River Seine.

ESMERALDA
Yes. It sparkles in the light. I'm glad I can get to...to see things down there.

Gazing down from the top of the world
Suddenly seeing a different city
Things look tiny and friendly and fair
Seen from the top of the world
When you look from high above
Everything seems pretty
Seeing life from the top of the world
Nothing needs fighting and no one needs pity
Thanks for giving this moment to me
When just for a moment things stop
Here at the top of the world

STATUES & GARGOYLES
For all these years
You've stayed alone
And free from danger
We shared your fears
It wasn't safe to trust a stranger
But maybe we were wrong here
Could she belong here?
This girl appears
And she is kind
And we're admitting
We'd give three cheers
To see you both forever sitting
Look at you sitting
On top of the world...

ESMERALDA
Seeing life from the top of the world
Nothing needs fighting and no one needs pity
Thanks for giving this moment to me
When just for a moment things stop
Here at the top of the world

STATUES & GARGOYLES
This girl appears
And she is kind
And we're admitting
We'd give three cheers
To see you both forever sitting
Look at you sitting
On top of the world...

ESMERALDA & STATUES & GARGOYLES
Here at top of the world

STATUES & GARGOYLES
Quasimodo, say something
Take our advice
Be brave and say something
Please don't think twice
Quasimodo, say some-

QUASIMODO
Esmeralda...

ESMERALDA
Yes?

QUASIMODO
I...I...It's nice
The two of us sitting...

ESMERALDA
The two of us sitting...

STATUES & GARGOYLES
The two of you sitting...

ALL
Sitting on top of the world!
