Lyrics

If I Could-Barbra Streisand

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

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
Yes I would
Yes I would
If I could
