There is wonder in most everything I see 眼中所见几乎都充满神奇
存在句型there be，一般翻译成‘有’。be动词根据后面所接名词的单复数而使用相应的is和are。心情美的时候，看到所有东西都有种不可思议的美。
wonder，n,惊奇； 奇观； 奇人； 奇迹；
It is a wonder that our teeth are so durable⁵; they never seem to wear down.奇了怪了，我们的牙齿如此结实,好像从来都没有被磨短。
No wonder:怪不得；难怪
等于"no wonder..."、"small wonder...""little wonder"
It is a wonder that he was so punctual⁶ this morning.他今天早晨到得这样准时,真是怪事。
You eat so little. No wonder you are so slim.你吃得这么少，难怪你这么瘦。
There is something wrong with your leg? No wonder that you walk so slowly.你的腿出问题了？难怪你走得这么慢。

Everything I want the world to be is now coming true especially for me理想的世界正在为我变成现实
这句话的主语是Everything‘一切’，谓语是is coming true:一切正转变成现实。I want the world to be是一个定语从句，修饰Everything。
come true:实现，成真； 应验
His words came true.他的话应验了。
I hope our dreams come true.我希望我们的梦想成真。
Will the dream come true if it is so far away from the reality?如果梦想和现实是那样的遥远，那它还会实现吗？

You’re the nearest thing to heaven that I’ve seen你是我见过的离天堂最近的事物/是你使我如此接近天堂
the nearest：最近的
Excuse me, where is the nearest gas station? 打扰了，最近的加油站在哪里？
Did you come by the nearest road? 你是抄最近的路来的吗?
第一段描述了一种愉悦的心情。因为快乐，所以看到的一切似乎都笼罩了一层不可思议的光环。感觉世界是完美的。而这一切都是因为‘你’的存在。

副歌：
I’m on the top of the world looking down on creation 我站在世界之顶俯视红尘
这个句子的主句是I’m on the top of the world。后面的现在分词短语looking down on creation是状语，表伴随。
top:顶部
on the top:在...上面
be on the top of the world:在世界之巅；幸福到极点；欣喜若狂
I was on top of the world at this good news.听到这个好消息我高兴极了。
If I could live in such a beautiful place, I would be on top of the world.如果能住在这么美丽的地方，一定幸福极了。
At that moment, I was on top of the world.就在那一刻，我飘飘欲仙。

And the only explanation I can find is the love that I’ve found ever since you’ve been around我能找到的唯一解释是：是因为有你，我便拥有了爱。
explanation:是动词explain‘解释；说明’的名词形式
I don't have time for explanation.我没时间跟你解释。
看下这个句子后面的be around，‘在四周；在附近；在身边’
People like to be around positive people, not energy vampires⁷. 人们喜欢与生活态度积极的人为友，而不是跟那些会让自己筋疲力尽的人来往。
If she can’t be positive or respectful⁸, then you can’t be around her. 如果她没有积极的生活态度，不懂尊重他人，你不许再和她来往。

第三段：
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze there’a pleasing sense of happiness for me 听着微风轻抚绿叶，我有种愉悦的幸福感
on the tree和in the tree的区别：
on the tree在树上（原生物）
in the tree，在树上（位置）
breeze：微风；轻而易举的事
At night, there is nothing but silence, moonlight, infinity⁹ stars and a soft breeze.夜里一片宁静，只有月光，无限星空和拂面的微风。
I thought the task would be very difficult, but it was actually a breeze.我开始以为这工作很难，但事实上却易如反掌。
