Lyrics:

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 Never Learned
and I'd Help You Cross The Bridges That I 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 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 You To
through There Wasn't Very Much That I Could Do
but I Still Would
if I Could

if, If I Could
i Would Try To Shield Your Innocence From Time
but The Part Of Life I Gave You Isn't Mine.
i 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

yes, I Would
yes, I Would
if I Could
