Ray Charles - 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
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 would If I could
Yes, 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 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
Daddy wants to protect you
And help my baby through the hungriest
'Cause your part of me
And if you ever ever need
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
Oh darling, I love you baby.

You know that you are a good singer when your voice cracks and it still sounds good.
Thomas Dotson Perfect.
This is a song that parents sing to children, but in a way, it’s a song that children can sing to their parents at some point. We reach a point where we have to play the care taker role to our parents and sometimes it can feel like we could never give them the same love and care given to us. Yes I would, if I could.
I hear you
Wow, never heard this before, so so great!!!😄
So loving song!!!

BEAUTIFUL song love ray charles...
Люблю ❤️
my daughter is now 16 and rebelling. When she was 2 i discovered this song ... and i held onto it til i needed her to hear it ... you know, when she started being a typical teenage girl. I sent her this song last night and told her that this will be the song i will dance with her at her wedding.
beautiful. But its not Regina
I love you..
I'm not crying...you're crying!!!! I dedicate this song to my two sons. You're the best thing that ever happened to me. EVER.
Who wrote the lyrics to this song?
Вот это да! Божественно, просто нет слов. Браво!!!
Drummer Jeff Porcaro in my heart !!!
Uma das melhores de Ray ! Estará sempre comigo....
Some songs simply break your heart. Then there are others that take your heart and slowly crush it as you helplessly watch crumpled on your knees. If I could, I'd help you cross the bridges that I burned! Gosh! And when it's finished, it drags out your soul through a keyhole and leaves it in shreds at your feet. But as you crawl away in pain, you are certain, given half the chance, you'd do it all over again. Cause there is so much poetry...in that pain!
Nick P I could not have ever explained this better..
Beautiful!
“Ray Charles”: Eras el mejor: “Si, Ray; para todos los que amamos la música que suene como en sus orígenes, todavía sigues siendo el mejor y NO NOS OLVIDAMOS DE TI. ESTE TEMA: “Y TÚ… ¿CON QUE LLENASTE TU CORAZÓN?” "AND YOU... WITH WHICH YOU FILLED YOUR HEART?" WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=K9OWAFYBHZW lo escribí para todas las personas que TODAVÍA IGNORAN EN DONDE ESTA LA VIDA. Tú pasaste por muchas dificultades que el hombre y la mujer de tu entorno te provocaron y te decepcionaron. También tú te uniste al MALO 1ªJUAN 5:19 y ello te llevo a la droga y todas las otras “HISTORIAS” ROM.1:18-32 que te HUNDIERON, y que son el sentir de la humanidad QUE NO CONOCE A DIOS JESUCRISTO. Juan 14:15 -21-23,24 pero te diste cuenta a tiempo y este tema es la prueba: “So Help Me God” "Y este que cantas ahora: "if I could"
“Por esta razón, yo creo que estas en el cielo junto a Dios que te socorrió en su momento” "ya que es Dios quien nos protege"
Masterclass!!!
Grande immortale Ray...grazie per la tua splendida altrettanto immortale musica.

Gente a letra dessa música... Meu Deus... Sem palavras.
Impossible not like this song.
Если бы я мог,
Я бы научил тебя всем вещам, которым сам некогда не был обучен,
И помог бы тебе перейти мосты, которые я сжег.
Да, я бы сделал это.
Just brilliant song and... Ray!!! Goes from the very heart!!!
