If I Could

　　If I Could - Céline 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 you to

　　And there isn't very much that I could do

　　But I would

　　If I could

　　Oh baby mummy wants to protect you

　　And help my baby through the hungry years

　　Cause you're 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
