If I Could

by Eagles Of Death Metal

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 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 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
how I'd try to change the world I brought you to
and there isn't very much that I can do
but I would
if I could
if I could
I would try to shield your innocence from time
but that part of life I gave you isn't mine
I watched you grow so I could let you go
if, if I could
I would help you make it through those hungry years
but I know that I can never cry your tears
but I would
if I could
yes I would
yes I would
if I could

If I Could

by Butthole Surfers

Take me to another place, she said
Take me to another time
Run with me across the oceans
Float me on a silver cloud
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now
Stay with me till time turns over
I want to feel my feet leave the ground
Take me where the whispering breezes
Can lift me up and spin me around
If I could I would...
Hear you laughing as we go
Flipping backward through the doors and through the windows...
I'm melting into nothing
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would, but I don't know how
If I could I would and I'd take you now

If I Could

If I could paint
I'd paint a portrait of you
The sunlight in your eyes a masterpiece of truth
And a single tear like a silent prayer
That's shining so much brighter than a diamond ever dared
If I could do anything at all, I'd do it for you
If I could write
I'd write a book for you
A tale of hidden treasures with an I.O.U
And a million words couldn't say a thing
That won't be said in three words
Where love's the central theme
If I could do anything at all, I'd do it for you
Chorus
Darling can't you see
What you mean to me
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you
And darling don't you know
Just how far I'd go
Anything that I can do, I'd do it for you
Sometimes I feel so second-rate
Seems loving you was my greatest mistake
I know I'm insecure
And love don't keep score
But I wish I could give you more
If I could play
I'd play up a storm for you
A raging sea of passion that you never knew
Every whispered sound would touch your heart
And maybe for a moment I could be your favourite star
If I could do anything at all
If I could, I'd give you more
If I could do anything at all…..I'd do it for you
Chorus
And darling can't you see
You mean the world to me
Anything that I can do I'll do it for you
And darling don't you know
Just how far I'd go
Anything that I can do I'll do it, I'll do it for you
I'll do it, do it for you

I don't believe you know
What you're talking 'bout
I don't believe you'd go
And ever find out for yourself
Always got a lot to say
Well I'm not listening anyway
I'm not listening anyway
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better
If I could
Make the world a little better
I don't believe you care
About the consequences
I don't believe you share
In what you know we know is true
Turning keys and locking doors
I won't accept that anymore
Won't accept that anymore
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better
I don't believe you know
About the hearts you've broken
I don't believe you show
What your intentions really are
Can you hear
What have you done
There's not enough for everyone
Not enough for enyone
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better
If I could
Make the world a little better
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better
If I could
Make the world a little better

If I Could

by Queen

If I could, I would always tell the truth
I would always love you from the heart
If I could, I would take you in my arms
Take you inside, into my heart
If I could, I would be the place you turn
When you're feeling lonely or afraid
I would shine like a lantern in the dark
Take you inside, into my heart
When you feel as if you don't know who you are
I'll remind you with my love
If I could, I would always keep you safe
Take you inside, into my heart
When you feel as if you simply can't go on
I'll remind you that you're strong
If I could, I would love you as you are
Take you inside, into my heart
Into my arms, into my life

If I Could

by SANTANA

There's no reason for you to lose your mind,
Cause I've seen something,
That's gonna change our time.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
Ah...
There's no hurry,
It's gonna come for sure,
Cause I know that someday,
We're gonna end our war.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
If I could, I'd make you understand.
Yes, I'd stand, and if I...I...
If I could I would now.
Oh my baby, oh baby...
And if I could, I'd make you understand.
If I could, then I'd make you understand.
There's no reason for you to lose your mind.
Cause I've seen something that's gonna change our time.
If I..... could if I..... could and if I..... could....
...If I could ...if I could if I could....
Oh oh, oh hoah whoah oh, oh oh oh, oh...
...if I...
If I could... If I could...
If I could... Woah, oh, oh, oh oh...
If I could I would now baby.
If I could I would.
I would...
If I could I would now.

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!

If I Could

by DR. HOOK

A brand new baby was born yesterday
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said your tears are like mine
I heard some words
From a friend on the phone
That didnt sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
Id give him more if I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
Down the middle drops one more
Grain of sand
They say that
New life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
They helped ease the mind
Of this, my old friend
And though you gotta go
We'll keep a piece of your soul
What goes out
What goes in
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

If I Could

by Cranberries

If I had you
And you were here
If I could kiss
And wipe away your tears
If I could
How I would
If I could change
A single thing
If I could love
And touch your face again
If I could
How I would
Only the hurt remains
And only the things
We can't change
Love can be a cruel and bitter
Pill to take
If we could run
Forgive the past
If I could lay
With my head in your hands
If I could
How I would
If I could live
Without regret
Turn a page
Pretend we never met
But you know
I can't let go
Only the hurt remains
And only the things
We can't change
And only the pain of the heartbreak
Love can be a cruel and bitter
Pill to take

A brand new baby was born yesterday,
Just in time
Papa cried, baby cried
Said, your tears are like mine
I heard some words
from a friend on the phone,
didn't sound so good
The doctor gave him two weeks to live
I'd give him more if I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could
Down the middle drops one more
grain of sand
They say that
new life makes losing life easier to understand
Words are kind
they help ease the mind
I miss my old friend
And though you gotta go
we'll keep a piece of your soul
One goes out
One comes in
You know that I would now
If only I could
You know that I would now
If only I could

[Intro/Interlude: repeat 4X]
Could have could
[Tech N9ne]
Listen!
I know I'm always gone, and I ain't never home
And plus you barely ever hear me on the telephone
Just trying to sell a song, 'til my bride ain't jealous none
And my hell is shown, but if I rest
It's just like I'ma malice thrown
All the way all the day all I say called way
A loved one calls to say
"How's the Bay hogging, stay for a holiday"
But I'm far away, gotta pay, lot of K
From my daughters we send they mommas they sum
But then there's problems when I'm away
But I gotta go get it, a lot of dough in it
A hundred percent I'm in it to fly and real grit it
Techa Nina be breaking it up when I go spit it
But it get to me when the family cry no shit it
Becomes hella hurtful
Yo, feel like I'm running around in circles
If I could I would
And I would stop but I might go bezerk-o
[Chorus: Chino Moreno]
But if I could, I would be good
I would be there for you just like I should
You wouldn't cry, when I say goodbye
For the reasons, do not tell me why
But if I could, I would be good
I wouldn't leave you, you think that I would
It feels like I die, a little inside
Know I hurt you, when I say goodbye
[Interlude]
[Tech N9ne over Interlude]
Yeah...
If I could I would
F'real
Check it!
[Tech N9ne]
I know your heart is skipping, cause I'm on a mission
Your eyes and schnoz are dripping, cause your dog is missing
And you his broad and wishing he wasn't a freaking politician
You want his kissing and you hope and pray that God is listening
You want to frolic with him (geah) but he gotta get them
Dollars give them all of his grin polished scripts and they all assist him
Now he's baller big and tall ambition, you're falling friction
Cause you missed your body's twitching throbbing from his rod incisions
So you started fishing, websites and call him bitching
Thinking some broad is nibbling on his dick and y'all is drifting
But he just say nah to chickens, all of this when cause is given
If I could I would dissolve suspicion
[Chorus]
[Tech N9ne]
Just trust me
Please just trust me
I'm doing all this music, so we can go all over the world
I swear to God, I'ma take you all over the world baby
We're gonna go, to Hawaii
We gonna stay for months!
You always knew I wanted to go to Hawaii
And we're gonna go all over the world baby just just just give me time
I'm gonna get this right, and do what I'm supposed to do
I swear to God we're gonna go, all over the world
We're gonna take, long trips
We're gonna go, to Japan
We're gonna go, to Africa
Wherever you wanna go, all I need
Is a little bit of time
A little bit more time, all I need is, time

If I Could

by Eskimo Callboy

You've gone too far
Too far apart
I know it's hard to see
Through the pain
You gave it all
He broke your heart
But I will still be here
And I promise you
[Chorus:]
If I could be everything to you
I would find a way
I would find a way
If I could prove you felt the same
I would be the one
I would be the one
If I could
I've held this in
For far too long
And now it comes to this
You never knew
You held my heart
Inside your hands
I've never felt like this
And I promise you
[Chorus:]
If I could be everything to you
I would find a way
I would find a way
If I could prove you felt the same
I would be the one
I would be the one
If I could
[Bridge:]
Cause I would never do
The things he did to you
I would never let you go
[Solo]
If I could be everything to you
I would find a way
I would find a way
If I could prove you that you felt the same
I would be the one
I would be the one
[Chorus:]
If I could be everything to you
I would find a way
I would find a way
If I could prove you felt the same
I would be the one
I would be the one
If I could

If I Could

by Kathleen Edwards

Wish I could be your lover, be your true lover
One day to be discovered lying next to you
But I know my lack of grace continues to turn you off
And this could be my fate here, never to be touched
Wish I could be
I can feel it in the morning
Nothing going on tonight
I get the feeling that my love for you's not right
I can't help thinking that you might not like my style
Watching television, let me chew on you awhile
Love me tonight
Then, face down, love me tonight
What if my fortune turns, will I turn away?
The battle of the heart we wage
The quiet game we play
What if it's me unequal, I'm the one who's not
Excited, forever
Withered in your touch
I'd miss you way too much
But you'd feel it in the morning
Nothing going on tonight
You'd get the feeling that my love for you's not right
Always turning, but never turn away
I'll try to be patient, tell me everything's ok
... Love me tonight

If I Could

[Verse 1:]
I can't believe, You were the girl
No one ever wanted to be with kiss,hold,or do a thang
Real thin so shy really not my type no
There was no future for us girl honestly
It's been a while I ask myself how could this be
This girl is hot she's looking so damn good to me
Tried to approach her but her feelings they have changed
She's not checkin for me
[Chorus:]
Hey there luv
You're lookin better than you did before
Ooh I never meant to hurt you
Sometimes I sit and wish I didn't ignore ya
Ooh I'd change it if I could
[Verse 2:]
What do I do for you to even notice me
See me tryin to hard to win your heart
Did I hurt you all that bad?
Been two years and you're still mad Shawty tell me
Never did I feel this way before
So many dimes I've been through never thought that cupid had a bow for me
Til the day you passed my mama's door
I didn't really mean to hurt you baby
So won't you please come back?
[Chorus:]
Hey there luv
You're lookin better than you did before
Ooh I never meant to hurt you
Sometimes I sit and wish I didn't ignore ya
Ooh I'd change it if I could
[Bridge:]
You got me in a state of disbelief
I didn't know you were working with something
Saw your boy been frontin (no)
[Chorus:]
Hey there luv
You're lookin better than you did before
Ooh I never meant to hurt you
Sometimes I sit and wish I didn't ignore ya
Ooh I'd change it if I could

If I could

And I'd help you cross the bridges that I've burned
Yes, I would

But the part of life I gave you isn't mine

So I could let you go

But I know that I can never cry your tears
But I would
