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 Could Never Cry Your Tears
But I Would
If I Could
Yes, 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 Would Try To Change The World I Brought You To
And There Isn't Very Much That I Could Do
But I Would
If I Could
Oh Baby
I Just Want To Protect You
And Help My Baby Through The Hungry Years
'cause You're Part Of Me
And If You Ever Ever Ever Need
I Said A Shoulder To Cry On
Or Just Someone To Talk To
I'll Be There, I'll Be There
I Didn't Change Your World
But I Would
If I Could
