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!
