Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Céline Dion - 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 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!
