 If  I could reach  the stars,  pull  one down for  you.
 Shinin'  on  my heart,  so you  could see the  truth.
 Then  this love  I have inside,  is everything  it seems
 But  for now  I find,  its only  in my  dreams
 And  I can  change  the world.  I would be  the sunlight in your  universe
 You  would think our love  was really some-thing  good
 
 
 Baby  if I could, change...... the world
 
 If  I could  be king,  even  for a  day.
 I'd  take you as  my queen.  I'd have  it no other  way.
   And  our love  would rule,  this kingdom  we have  made.
 Till  then I'd be  a fool,  wishin  for the  day...
 And  I can  change  the world.  I would be  the sunlight in your  universe
 You  would think our love  was really some-thing  good

 I  can change  the  world.  I would be the  sunlight in your universe
