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 Wanna 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 Would Try To Change The World I Brought You To
And There Isn't Very Much That I Can Do
But I Would
If I Could
