Regina Belle - If I Could (With Lyrics)

Another one of my favourite songs by her.

Lyrics:

Ooh...ooh...
Ooh...
Oh...ho...
Yeah, yeah
If I could
Id 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 Ive never learned
And Id help you cross the bridges that Ive burned
Yes, I would
If I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
But the part of life I gave you isnt mine
Ill watch you grow, so I can 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, babe
But I would If I could
If I could
In a time and place where you dont wanna be
You dont have to walk along this road with me
My yesterday wont have to be your way
If I knew
Id try to change the world I brought you to
Now there isnt much more 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 isnt mine
Ill watch you grow, so I can let you go
If I could
Id help you make it through the hungry years
But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would If I could
Eah...hey...eah...hey...hey...
If I could

Why do you show in parenthesis (with Lyrics) if you do have them?

[Zeniquez]

@Lady42LinLoe I have it in parenthesis because it is not the title of the song but only a feature of the video!!!!!

[bluecrip1]

when I searching for it i thought whitney sung it :) my mama sung this to me when i was little now i actually know what it mean..and wen i have kids ima sing it to them

[Jevezy]

A simply beautiful song, with excellent lyrics that expresses every parent's true feelings and hopes for their kids. God bless you Regina, a beautiful, talented woman with a beautiful voice and there is no one who can sing like you. Many imitators, but never any duplicators.

In ALL my years of growing up. There were a few things that I NEVER realized, understood, or maybe even thought of UNTIL, until Loosing My Mother. Something's she would say or do, I didn't quite grasp the meaning, or even realize the sacrifices she made, the pain she went thru to see me or one of my brothers suffer from pain or disappointment. The TOTAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE that you can only get from a parent. Especially a Mother.
