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
