If I Could — текст песни (Celine Dion)

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!
