Celine Dion If I Could Lyrics

If I Could Lyrics



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!
