If I Could (Album Version)

[00:00.18] Ooh, ooh
[00:00.24] Ooh
[00:01.78] Oh, oo
[00:08.12] Yeah, yeah
[00:13.85] If I could, I'd protect you
[00:18.76] From the sadness in your eyes
[00:24.81] Give you courage
[00:25.95] In a world of compromise
[00:31.35] Yes, I would
[00:34.53] If I could
[00:38.48] I would teach you all the things
[00:40.94] I've never learned
[00:45.39] And I'd help you cross the bridges
[00:48.62] That I've burned
[00:52.04] Yes, I would
[00:55.28] If I could
[00:58.75] I would try to shield
[01:00.53] Your innocence from time
[01:05.43] But the part of life
[01:07.18] I gave you isn't mine
[01:11.95] I'll watch you grow
[01:15.15] So I can let you go
[01:24.17] If I could
[01:26.52] I would help you make it through
[01:28.61] The hungry years
[01:32.81] But I know that I can never
[01:35.54] Cry your tears, babe
[01:39.36] But I would if I could
[01:45.65]
[01:48.12] If I could
[01:52.42] In a time and place
[01:54.13] Where you don't wanna be
[01:58.91] You don't have to walk along
[02:01.77] This road with me
[02:05.12] My yesterday won't have to be your way
[02:18.03] If I knew
[02:21.23] I'd try to change the world
[02:22.99] I brought you to
[02:26.75] Now there isn't much more
[02:29.09] That I can do
[02:33.45] But I would if I could
[02:40.79] If I could
[02:46.37] I would try to shield
[02:48.38] Your innocence from time
[02:52.98] But the part of life
[02:54.50] I gave you isn't mine
[02:59.13] I'll watch you grow
[03:02.37] So I can let you go
[03:12.26] If I could
[03:15.26] I would help you make it through
[03:16.91] The hungry years
[03:20.64] But I know that I can never
[03:23.82] Cry your tears
[03:27.57] But I would if I could
[03:34.52]
[03:42.91] If I could
[03:55.18]
