If I Could ((Album Version))

[00:02.95] Ooh, ooh
[00:06.37] Ooh
[00:08.01] Oh, oo
[00:10.07] Yeah, yeah
[00:13.84] If I could, I'd protect you
[00:18.81] From the sadness in your eyes
[00:24.87] Give you courage
[00:26.05] In a world of compromise
[00:31.33] Yes, I would
[00:34.61] If I could
[00:38.26] I would teach you all the things
[00:41.11] I've never learned
[00:45.48] And I'd help you cross the bridges
[00:48.72] That I've burned
[00:52.06] Yes, I would
[00:55.39] If I could
[00:58.89] I would try to shield
[01:00.37] Your innocence from time
[01:05.50] But the part of life
[01:07.13] I gave you isn't mine
[01:11.91] I'll watch you grow
[01:15.12] So I can let you go
[01:24.09] If I could
[01:26.41] I would help you make it through
[01:28.65] The hungry years
[01:32.95] But I know that I can never
[01:35.55] Cry your tears, babe
[01:39.36] But I would if I could
[01:45.65]
[01:48.29] If I could
[01:52.33] In a time and place
[01:54.12] Where you don't wanna be
[01:59.13] You don't have to walk along
[02:01.69] This road with me
[02:05.23] My yesterday won't have to be your way
[02:18.20] If I knew
[02:21.03] I'd try to change the world
[02:22.93] I brought you to
[02:26.88] Now there isn't much more
[02:29.07] That I can do
[02:33.46] But I would if I could
[02:40.79] If I could
[02:46.24] I would try to shield
[02:48.38] Your innocence from time
[02:52.86] But the part of life
[02:54.55] I gave you isn't mine
[02:59.14] I'll watch you grow
[03:02.35] So I can let you go
[03:12.25] If I could
[03:15.30] I would help you make it through
[03:17.06] The hungry years
[03:20.67] But I know that I can never
[03:23.82] Cry your tears
[03:27.48] But I would if I could
[03:34.43]
[03:42.96] If I could
[03:50.71]
