[00:45.01][01:11.76][01:38.22][02:12.82][02:38.94]If I could
[00:48.14]I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
[00:57.23]Give you courage in a world of compromise
[01:07.28][01:33.42]Yes' I would
[01:14.61]I would teach you all the things I've never learned
[01:22.97]And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
[01:40.72]I would try to shield your innocence from time
[01:50.17]But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
[01:57.75]I've watched you grow
[02:01.34]So I could let you go
[02:18.19]I would help you make it through the hungry years
[02:26.61]But I know that I can never cry your tears
[02:36.47][03:49.31]But I would
[02:48.64]If I live
[02:52.47]In a time and place where you don't want to be
[03:00.56]You don't have to walk along this road with me
[03:10.19]My yesterday
[03:14.32]Won't have to be your way
[03:24.05]If I knew
[03:28.45]I'd have tried to change the world I brought to you to
[03:37.71]And there isn't very much that I can do
[03:52.71]If I could...
[03:58.95]oh baby... mummy wants to protect you
[04:05.32]and help my baby through the hungry years
[04:11.35]Cause part of me
[04:13.75]and if you ever... ever need
[04:18.91]sad shoulder to cry on
[04:23.02]I'm just someone to talk to
[04:26.75]I'll be there... I'll be there
[04:30.43]I didn't change your world
[04:42.43]but I would
[04:47.10]If I Could!
