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 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 to you to
And there isn´t very much that I can do
But I would
If I could...
Oh baby... mummy wants to protect you
And help my baby through the hungry years
It´s part of me
And if you ever... ever need
Sad shoulder to cry on
I´m 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!
