[00:19.70] If I could
[00:23.73] I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
[00:32.38] Give you courage in a world of compromise
[00:42.03] Yes, I would
[00:46.68] If I could
[00:49.78] I would teach you all the things I've never learned
[00:58.41] And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
[01:08.64] Yes, I would
[01:13.03] If I could
[01:15.88] I would try to shield your innocence from time
[01:24.56] But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
[01:32.61] I've watched you grow
[01:36.94] So I could let you go
[01:46.49] If I could
[01:53.16] I would help you make it through the hungry years
[02:02.50] But I know that I can never cry your tears
[02:12.10] But I would
[02:14.71] If I could
[02:23.81] If I live
[02:28.18] In a time and place where you don't want to be
[02:36.88] You don't have to walk along this road with me
[02:45.07] My yesterday
[02:49.44] Won't have to be your way
[02:58.78] If I knew
[03:03.49] I'd have tried to change the world I brought to you to
[03:12.86] And there isn't very much that I can do
[03:23.53] But I would
[03:28.47] If I could...
[03:33.80]
[04:17.60] but I would
[04:23.04] If I Could!
[04:33.90] But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
[04:36.23] If I could
