Regina Belle - "If i could"



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'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 that I can do
But I would if I could

If I could

You all need to hear the Nancy Wilson, version.

That is a keeper

I think Regina did. She comes from a very talented family....Her brother is Bernard Belle.....he co-wrote, "Remember the Time", for MJ. I loved her first record though. It was called "So many tears". Classic.

I love the song as well. heard it over the weekend and thought about what present day artist could do this song justice. I think Tamar has a powerful enough voice to do it, other than her im drawing a blank help a brotha out has to be some artists that can handle this song.

I also thought Oleta Adams did this song, guess i was wrong

"So many tears" is beautiful, a classic "quiet storm" ballad cloud9 Don`t you just love the expression "quiet storm"....
