Il testo della If i could

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
