Celine DioN : "IF A COULD" (A NEW DAY... LIVE IN LAS VEGAS 2004)

IF I COULD

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 could never cry your tears 

but I would 

If I could 

yes, 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 would try to change the world I brought you to 

and there isn’t very much that I could do 

but I would 

If I could 

oh baby

I just want to protect you 

and help my baby through the hungry years 

’cause you’re part of me 

and if you ever ever ever need 

I said a shoulder to cry on 

or just someone to talk to 

I’ll be there, I’ll be there 

I didn’t change your world 

but I would 

If I could
