For Jamie, my best friend =)

[alleycat27]

If I could
I'd protect you from the sadness in your eyes
Give you courage and 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 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 knew
I would try 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...

And if you ever... ever need
A 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!
