Regina Belle - If I Could lyrics

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
