Текст песни Michael Bolton — If I could

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
