Lyrics If I Could - Nancy Wilson
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
thes
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
And
I
know
that
I
could
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
yesterdays
don't
have
to
be
your
way
If
I
knew
I
could
try
to
change
the
world
I
brought
you
to
Now
there
isn't
that
much
more
that
I
can
do
But
I
would
if
I
could
If,
if
I
could
