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 a 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 would try to change

The world I brought to you to

And there isn't very much that I, I could do

But I would, if I could

Oh baby, mummy wants to protect you

And help my baby through the hungry years

It's part of

And if you ever, ever need

Sad shoulder to cry on

I'm 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

Oh darling, I love you baby
