Lyrics of If i could

Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Oh, ho
Yeah, yeah

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

Chorus:
If i could
I would try to shield
Your innocence
From time
But the part of life
I gave you isn't mine
I'll watch you grow
So i can 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, babe
But i would if i could

If i could
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'd try
To change the world
I brought you to
Now there
Isn't much more
Rhat i can do
But i would
If i could

(chorus)

If i could
