If I could reach the stars I'd 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 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 Till then I'll be a fool Wishin' for the day 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 Baby, if I could change the world 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 Baby, if I could change the world Baby, if I could change the world

A canção estreou na trilha sonora do filme "Phenomenon" (1996), estrelado por John Travolta, onde foi interpretada por Eric Clapton com o apoio de Babyface.
Wynonna Judd gravou a faixa originalmente para seu álbum "Revelations" em fevereiro de 1996, mas não a lançou como single, mesmo após o sucesso da versão de Clapton.
A interpretação de Eric Clapton conquistou três Grammys: Gravação do Ano, Canção do Ano (para os compositores Tommy Sims, Gordon Kennedy e Wayne Kirkpatrick) e Melhor Desempenho Vocal Pop Masculino.
O single chegou ao número 5 na Billboard Hot 100 no verão de 1996, mas dominou as paradas adult contemporâneas, ficando 13 semanas em primeiro lugar e permanecendo no ranking por mais de um ano e meio (80 semanas).
A faixa foi selecionada pela RIAA como uma das "Canções do Século", ocupando a posição de número 270 no ranking.
Embora seja mais conhecida na versão acústica unplugged, existe uma interpretação elétrica rara gravada para o álbum ao vivo de Babyface "MTV Unplugged NYC" (1997), com Clapton tocando sua assinatura Fender Stratocaster.
