作曲：Ron Miller+Ken Hirsch+Marti Sharron

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'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

But I would 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 that I can do

But I would if I could

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'd help you make it through the hungry years

But I know that I can never cry your tears

But I would if I could
