Barbra Streisand( Barbara Joan Streisand ) 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 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

how I'd try to change the world I brought 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 that part of life I gave you isn't mine
I watched you grow so I could let you go
if, if I could
I would help you make it through those 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

Mojim Lyrics

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, if I could
I would help you make it through those 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

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 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 that part of life I gave you isn't mine
I watched you grow so I could let you go

If, if I could, I would help you make it through those 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

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 never learned.
And I'd help you cross the bridges that I 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 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 you to,
Through there wasn't very much that I could do.
But I still would
If I could.
If, if I could,
I would try to shield your innocence from time,
But the part of life I gave you isn't mine.
I 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.
