Michael Bolton - If I Could - Текст песни

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 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 would try to change the world I brought you to

And there isn't very much that I can do

But I would

If I could
