If I Could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyesgive you courage in a world of compromiseyes I would
If I could
I would teach you all the things I've never learnedand I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burnedyes I wouldif I could
I would try to shield your innocence from timebut the part of life I gave you isn't mine
I've watched you growso I could let you goif I could
I would help you make it through the hungry yearsbut I know that I can never cry your tearsbut I wouldif I couldif I live in a time and place where you don't want to beyou don't have to walk along this road with memy yesterday won't have to be your wayif I knewhow I'd try to change the world I brought you toand there isn't very much that I can dobut I wouldif I couldif I could
I would try to shield your innocence from timebut that part of life I gave you isn't mine
I watched you grow so I could let you goif, if I could
I would help you make it through those hungry yearsbut I know that I can never cry your tearsbut I wouldif I couldyes I wouldyes I wouldif I could
