Change The World

If I could reach the stars
Pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart
So you could see the truth --

That this love I have inside
Is everything it seems
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams

Chorus :
If I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You would think my love was really something 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 no other way
And our love will rule
In this kingdom we have made
'Til then I'll be a fool
Wishing for the day

(Chorus X 2 )

---

Sailing down behind the sun, waiting for my prince to come.
Praying for the healing rain to restore my soul again.
Just a toerag on the run. How did I get here? What have I done?
When will all my hopes arrive?
How will I know him? When I look in my father's eyes.

Then the light begins to shine and I hear those ancient lullabys.
And as I watched this seedling grow, feel my heart start to overflow
When will I learn the words to say? How do I teach him? What do we play?
If I did, I'd realize
That's when I need him, that's when I need my father's eyes.

Were you really so far away?
Were you really so far away?
Were you really so far away?
Were you really so far away?

Then the jagged edge appears through the distant clouds of tears.
I'm like a bridge that has washed away; my foundations were made of clay.
As my soul slides down to die. How could I lose him? What did I try?
If I did, I'd recognize
He was here with me; I'd looked into my father's eyes.

As my soul slides down to die. How could I lose him? What did I try?
If I did, I'd recognize
He was here with me; I'd looked into my father's eyes.

It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight

We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you

It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

What'll you do when you get lonely
And nobody's waiting by your side?
You've been running and hiding much too long.
You know it's just your foolish pride.

Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind.

I tried to give you consolation
When your old man had let you down.
Like a fool, I fell in love with you,
Turned my whole world upside down.

Chorus

Let's make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
And tell me all my love's in vain.

Chorus

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...

Would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven...

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven...

Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...
