Streisand, Barbra - 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
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

    Miss Barbara Streisand our peer of our time just Fabulous I love her so much.SHE sings so beautifully I remember all the songs of the 60s when I first started knowing about her and, now Jason is so Handsome Wow !!!!***

  30. J.... D....

    Been a fan since the time I could walk. Why does there ALWAYS have to be a F**king competition with every damn thing especially when women are involved? What, the world is too small to have two singers sing the same damn song??? Drives me insane and IT AIN'T A LONG DRIVE LET ME TELL YA THANKS TO TRUMP.

  31. J.... M....

    Oh my this is simply beautiful. It's up there with 2 gorgeous songs about childhood and growing up - The Special Years by Val Doonican and Let Her Go by Hue and Cry. Both on YouTube. Off for a hankie now!

  42. L.... ....

  43. F.... M....

    You have always truly been my idol from the moment I first heard you sing.....There are no voices that even compare to you.....Awesome voice and performer~ Bravo`

  44. M.... B....

    Folks you most her her son sing . . . sounds just like her . . . of course Nancy Wilson and Regina Belle has also placed their special touch upon this song . . .

  45. p.... ....

    She should of had more children, she won’t ever have grandchildren. Her sing has her gift to sing like his Mom.

  46. p.... ....

    She loves her son so much

  47. c.... p....

    regardless of everything you still have a beautiful voice and beautiful woman I'm glad u made it two things. in commen both have one son that we love crystal Chris

  48. A.... A....

    One night, I found myself crying as I was listening to this song and it finally hit me as to the reason I was crying. The words in this song are the plans and thoughts that I have for MY CHILDREN!!! Now, I have no children but I refer to my nieces and nephews as my children and those are the thoughts I have for them. Annette Amedee

  49. s.... F....

    I cry every time I listen to this. Wished I had been a better Mom , but being a kid myself I just don't know where this world lead me .i hope he will forgive me for be so young.

  50. T.... C....

    So beautiful! I will keep on praying for them both. Shalom!

  51. K.... B....

    If I could...Love it...My dance with my son on his wedding day

  52. N.... A....

    dedicated to my handsome son Luis H Guitron

  53. W.... ....

    There's that pure, "buttery" tremolo. Her voice is deeper now but still transcendent at times. Her new Netflix special is one of her best concerts. She doesn't just "sing." Sometimes she channels souls.

  54. K.... S....

    I love this!

  55. O.... S....

    What a mother!!!!

  56. J.... D....

    I watched you grow, so that I could let you go.

  57. m.... d....

    My son and I danced to this at his wedding, Our Mother and Son dance

  58. C.... J....

    Being mother is a wonderful love god gift to each Mother, to care for.

  59. V.... W....

    So good and how most mothers must feel about their children. If only you could protect children from the horrors in this world.

  60. J.... J....

    If I could sing I will sing this song to my son.

  61. L.... L....

    . Mãe e filho amor infinito!

  62. E.... M....

    I love this song! Such beautiful lyrics and it so defines the relationship between Barbra and Jason.

  63. g.... ....

    Barbra Barbra Barbra, you are a living legend and it looks like there will be no one to fill your shoes.

  64. S.... B....

    Ive just sent this via email to my son....he is 45 tomorrow......love him so much x

  65. I.... A....

    Beautiful Pictures of Barbra & her Son, Jason Gould...Lovely!

  66. j.... b....

    beatiful words ! I feel. like l'm crying!! children are angels who deserve all the love in the world!!

  67. A.... R....

    This song reminds me of my mother. she died from lung cancer in Nov 21; 2010.

  70. N.... I....

  71. P.... L....

    Tears are streaming down my face for my darling son. He is 40 and has a little son of his own now. Barbra's songs and performances always move me. I have loved her for as long as I can remember.

  72. F.... F....

    Maravilloso vídeo y canción

  73. c.... G....

    This song is the definition of a mother's love to her son....Brings me to tears always.....

  74. A.... R....

    THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MY MOTHER. JEANNETTE RIVERA; SHE DIED FROM LUNG CANCER. NOV 21; 2010. RIP. MOM. WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. LOVE. ANGEL RIVERA JR.

  75. A.... R....

GOD BLESS HER FOR ALWAYS BEING THEIR. GOD BLESS HER AND RIP MOM. I MISS U SO MUCH. LOVE. ANGEL RIVERA JR.

  76. c.... b....

    I could relate to this song and video so much. I raised one child too, a son! As a baby you get to hold them all the time of course..Then the teenage years come where they pretend they don't know who you are. Lol... And sometimes yes, it hurts a little... Boys especially do not want to be seen as a momma's boy especially when around their friends, and they crave their independence! ....But if you hang in there for anyone going through this, I promise you the son you knew comes back to you....One day out of the blue when my son and I were both sitting on the couch, and he was into his 20's, my son suddenly fell back into my lap just as seen here with Barbra's son now all grown! I put my arm around his shoulders almost exactly like Barbra and her grown son here.... Then my son just looked at me at 23 and said, "I love you mom." I tried to hold back the tears and said i love you too!
    He still needed Mom!
    Love you my dear son, George!

    c.... b....

    My son runaway help

  77. M.... C....

    Lol but my love I do feel this way

  78. i.... w....

    As a parent myself it's hard not to shed a tear everytime i hear this beautiful song. And nobody can tug at your heart strings quite like Barbra Streisand does.

  79. d.... p....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  80. r.... t....

    My # 1 (one) "Song Bird". I love her voice, her songs & just about everything else about her.

  81. T.... D....

    If I could sing, I'd sing my lyrics. He said, let's grab a drink and sit right over there. But my favorite song still lingered in the air. Go find another place and leave me here to be. But how long should I push life away? All for a man who broke my heart in two? So I grabbed that drink and started with a "Hey" because feeling sorry for myself was all I Was gonna do.

  82. T.... D....

    Elizabeth, I am a single working woman and know hard times. however, you must know that Barbra worked her tail off for decades. Her role is not easy. Just because she has money doesn't mean she never had emotional upset in her life. We all have our story. God bless.

  83. E.... ....

    Ye'll never have to worry about anything! I Don't know if she'll die and    I'll  have nothing! I've lived on the streets. Worked for power company for 7 yeaars was abused and mis-treated for years! But have no money or anything to show for it!

    E.... ....

    and?   My God.. You've been privileged to live, to be alive and feel the texture of life.   There will only be one Barbra, such elegance. Still can't stand that she's a liberal, but that's her lot in life.. We each are blessed with our own private curse.

  84. K.... P....

    I did not know she sang this. I love her voice and she puts such emotion into her songs.

  85. j.... k....

    romèo 😘

  86. d.... m....

    thanks, especially now.  peace!

  87. j.... ....

    mother n son bond priceless and unbreakable

    j.... ....

    Until he Mary's someone who's jealous of that bond and finds a way to break it. :(

  88. J.... ....

    Always loved this song.. Sing it!! Babrah Streisand... woooooo :)

  89. G.... W....

    its is a shame Jason is so unatractive

    G.... W....

    +Guy Will - well, someone finds him attractive. he lives with his male friend.

    G.... W....

    +Guy Will , you are looking at the wrong things...

    G.... W....

    he's hot, I think.

  90. G.... W....

    that voice soars into oblivion in this song. Beyond belief...

  91. S.... L....

    Magnifique chanson merci

  92. E.... ....

    Pray for me ! Thank you

  93. Y.... S....

    That voice. No one like her

  94. t.... b....

    wow this made me tear up this touches my soul it is exactly what my mother did for me. She hid that my father was a monster but in the end I found out and the  look in her eyes  were explained by this song.!!:9

  95. M.... 8....

    To me, the Moses Song

  96. E.... ....

    What a wonderful mother!  I was adopted and my mother left me because I was gay...I wish I had a mother like that...

    E.... ....

    "WoW" I see Hell in your future!

    E.... ....

    FYI-Grow the fuck up before it's to late! Never mine your personality will never survive this world for long!!

    E.... ....

    I see you can't count how many times you've sent the same email!!!
    Please never have children they'll be ah ah ah ah like you......................

    E.... ....

    What a despicable piece of scum you are Woody German.

    E.... ....

    Elizabeth45 its Okay God loves U.

  97. M.... H....

    I was a young Sinatra, Perry Como, Crosby addict, not really paying much attention to a lot of rock, and a girlfriend said she had just heard this Streisand girl. and that she was amazing, and was going to be big. I've been a huge fan since that moment, I'm now thrilled with Jason's evolution. Barbara, most of all deserves this joy. Thanks ...
