To My Girl.

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

If I could, I would try to shield

Your innocence from time

But a 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 that I can never cry your tears

But I would, if I could

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 to you to

And there isn't very much that I, I could do

But I would, if I could

 And there isn't very much that I can 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 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!

Dear 1:

 

I will always feel exactly the same way.  No matter what is said between us. This is true.

 

Love,

Mom
