"Bring Him Home" is rediculously high...

Anything Pirelli or the Beadle sings in Sweeney...

"Finishing the Hat" from Sunday in the Park...

"A Bit of Earth" from Secret Garden...

"Grand Knowing You" from She Loves Me gets up there...

"I Who Have Nothing" from Smokey Joe's Cafe...

"Pity the Child" from Chess...

Most of the lead male roles written after like 1990 are higher tenors because lots of people seem to think that singing high equals singing well...

"Memphis Live in Me" from Memphis is probably the HIGHEST I can think of right now, reaching a D5 at its climax.

Others include:

"My Unfortunate Erection" from Spelling Bee
"Till I Hear You Sing" from Love Never Dies
and the ending of "Alive" from Jekyll and Hyde is pretty high up there as well.

Is this high as in "I can't go low" tenor or you just have a lot of top notes?

Well my absolute normal range is G2-C5, but I can go significantly higher in falsetto. The song I'm currently using for auditions is Finishing the Hat from SITPWG, which goes from Bflat2-Aflat4. Anything with a similar range is good too.
