[QUASIMODO, spoken]
Can see everything from up here
City gates, river Seine

[ESMERALDA, spoken]
Yes, it sparkles in the light
I'm glad I can get to— to see things down there

(sung)
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

[ENSEMBLE]
For all these years
You've stayed alone
And free from danger
We've 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

[ENSEMBLE]
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 & ENSEMBLE]
Here at the top of the world

[ENSEMBLE]
Quasimodo, say something
Take our advice
Be brave and say something
Please don't think twice
Quasimodo say some—

[QUASIMODO, spoken]
Esmeralda...

[ESMERALDA, spoken]
Yes?

[QUASIMODO, spoken]
I...I...it's nice, the two of us sitting...

[ESMERALDA]
The two of us sitting

[ENSEMBLE]
The two of you sitting

[ALL]
Sitting on top of the world
