Belle, Regina - If I Could 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

[Chorus:]
If I could
I would try to shield
Your innocence
From time
But the part of life
I gave you isn't mine
I'll 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
Don't wanna 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 try
To change the world
I brought you to
Now there
Isn't much more
What I can do
But I would
If I could

[Chorus]

If I could

  43. S.... ....

    A sixth grade teacher sung this at my eighth graduation, alot of us got teary eyed it was like having the real regina belle there.....I got teary eye cause i didnt understand what this song meant now I do, I now dedicate this to my son who is 18 and my daughter who is 12

  44. A.... A....

    BEAUTIFUL💕

  45. A.... L....

    She is one of the great voices of R&B and so-called pop! Her unique and distinctive voice was instantly recognizable; her range was phenomenal!! If I had the big bucks I would produce a show featuring her and all the great singers I think didn't get the right promotion! Regina was a headliner in my book then and now!!

  46. D.... F....

    Amazing the beautiful music we use to have. Don't hear stuff like this these days.

  47. M.... M....

    I sung this in a choir in 6th grade when I hear this song just get so emotional man miss my child hood

    Still true even in 2019

  51. A.... L....

    I lived this era. I dedicate this to Alonzo, Valencia, Justine, Justin, Jaiden, and Lonnie! My Babies.

  52. S.... S....

    If a parent can raise a child so they can let them go, they are a success. Codependency kills the spirit and dampens the desire to strive.

  53. N.... I....

    If I could, I would protect myself from all the wrong-doing and the cruelty in this world.

  54. P.... H....

    Is this music video supposed to threaten my son's life. The opening lyrics suggest protecting my son from harm.

  64. G.... W....

    Men will never be able to fully understand the depths of a woman's love and sacrifice for her children. Without a Mother's love and selfless sacrifice to her children the human race would have died off a million years ago

  65. g.... s....

    Regina’s vocals are as clear as a bell they ring through in every song . (No pun intended). I love her singing of this and video, speaks volumes.🌎❤️🙏🏾😭💥

  69. J.... O....

    I'll watch you Grow, so I can let you Go" Gets me everytime I play this for my children all the time just to let them Know I Love them dearly and pray that the moment they are able to stand alone. I'll be very proud. So much much Love goes into raising children and it's so important I teach them all that I can and to love others beyond their faults and be the Best Woman or Man they could ever be! My Beautiful 4) Loving Each Day....
