If I could reach the stars 星星若能触手可及

I'd pull one down for you 我愿摘下一颗送你

Shine it on my heart 当它照亮我的内心

So you could see the truth 你可透见我的挚情

That this love I have inside 那里珍藏着我的爱

Is everything it seems 除此之外别无他物

But for now I find 即使现在我也明白

It's only in my dreams 一切只是我的美梦

That I can change the world 那里我能改变世界

I would be the sunlight in your universe 像太阳般温暖和煦

You will think my love was really something good 让你感受爱之美好

Baby if I could change the world 即使是我一厢情衷

If I could be king 若我能够成为国王

Even for a day 哪怕只有一天也行

I'd take you as my queen 你可愿做我的王后

I'd have it no other way 因为早已非你莫属

And our love will rule 你我打造的这个王国

In this kingdom we have made 爱是至高无上之宗

Till then I'd be a fool 在这一天到来之前

Wishing for the day 我愿一直为它痴等

That I can change the world 那里我能改变世界

I would be the sunlight in your universe 像太阳般温暖和煦

You will think my love was really something good 让你感受爱之美好

Baby if I could change the world 即使是我一厢情衷

Eric Clapton [30Mar, 1945 - ]
