If I could |
|
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes |
|
Give you courage in a world of compromise |
|
Yes, I would |
|
If I could |
|
I would teach you all the things I've never learned |
|
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned |
|
Yes, I would |
|
If I could |
|
I would try to shield your innocence from time |
|
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine |
|
I've watched you grow |
|
So I could let you go |
|
If I could |
|
I would help you make it through the hungry years |
|
But I know that I can never cry your tears |
|
But I would |
|
If I could |
|
If I live |
|
In a time and place where you don't want to be |
|
You don't have to walk along this road with me |
|
My yesterday |
|
Won't have to be your way |
|
If I knew |
|
I'd have tried to change the world I brought to you to |
|
And there isn't very much that I can do |
|
But I would |
|
If I could... |
|
but I would |
|
If I Could! |
|
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine |
|
If I could |
