Around the world in just one day
 Is way too fast, or so they say
 But whenever we're together
 We can easily go round twice

 You're all I need and more
 All I've been hoping for
 But we both know it is
 Not our turn this time

 Up and down at rapid speed
 Inside out I'm turned indeed
 As soon as the command is yours
 My whole world seems to change

 You shine much brighter than
 All the stars, but then again
 Alas, it seems you came here
 Just a bit too late

 In another time, and in another place
 Surely you'd be mine, but not here and now
 I wish you would understand
 You're ten years late
 I wish you would understand
 You're ten years late

 And if you were the only rose
 That stands in bloom amid all the weed
 Still that won't help, and even if
 In this world of willows, in which we live
 You were the only giant
 That won't change a single thing

 In another time, and in another place
 Surely you'd be mine, but not here and now
 I wish you would understand
 You're ten years late
 I wish you would understand
 You're ten years late
