[00:07.05](I'd like to dedicate this next song
[00:12.93]to all the parents and children of the world...
[00:18.69]and especially to my very own... René-Charles!)
[00:25.64]
[00:35.67]If I could
[00:40.34]I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
[00:49.42]Give you courage in a world of compromise
[00:59.48]Yes, I would
[01:03.47]
[01:03.73]If I could
[01:06.87]I would teach you all the things
[01:10.63]I've never learned
[01:14.77]And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
[01:23.39]Yes, I would
[01:27.16]
[01:27.66]If I could
[01:30.46]I would try to shield your innocence from time
[01:39.57]But the part of life I gave you isn't mine
[01:47.90]I've watched you grow
[01:52.07]So I could let you go
[02:00.50]
[02:01.41]If I could
[02:07.25]I would help you make it through the hungry years
[02:16.55]But I know that I can never cry your tears
[02:26.51]But I would
[02:28.53]If I could
[02:34.34]
[02:38.79]If I live
[02:42.90]In a time and place where you don't want to be
[02:51.51]You don't have to walk along this road with me
[03:00.22]My yesterday
[03:03.83]Won't have to be your way
[03:14.11]
[03:14.36]If I knew
[03:19.28]I'd have tried to change the world
[03:22.20]I brought you to
[03:26.95]And there isn't very much that I could do
[03:39.43]But I would
[03:43.78]If I could...
[03:51.54]Oh baby... mummy wants to protect you
[03:58.03]And help my baby through the hungry years
[04:03.70]Cause you're part of me
[04:06.03]And if you ever... ever need
[04:11.44]Sad shoulder to cry on
[04:15.04]I'm just someone to talk to
[04:18.02]I'll be there... I'll be there
[04:22.10]I didn't change your world
[04:33.66]But I would
[04:39.28]If I Could
[04:21.68]
