Lyrics

IF I COULD
ARTIST: TaRanda


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 can let you go

If I could
I would help you make it through
Those hungry years

But I know that I can never
Cry your tears
But I would if I could
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 yesterdays don't have to be your way

If I knew
How I'd try to change the world
I brought you to

But there isn't much
That I can do
But I would if I could

If, 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 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
Yes, I would – ohhh – I would
If I could
