"If I Could" - Ray Charles

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
