If I Could (Change The World)
Eric Clapton · Other Songs - Eric Clapton
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:
That 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 it no other way
And our love would rule
this kingdom we have made
Til' then i'll be a fool
Wishing for the day
chorus
Baby if I could...change the world
I could 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 (repeat 2x)
