"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
