This song is gorgeous, and rarely can I hear it without crying...have a listen if you'd like.
For my beautiful children...please stop growing so fast my sweet babies.
If I Could by Celine Dion
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'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 I could never cry your tears
but I would
if I could
Yes, if I live
in a time and place that 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
