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
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'd 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 could

Separate Ways
Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways...
If you must go...
I wish you love
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched
And went our separate ways...
If you must go...
I wish you love

Nichole Nordeman - Slow Down
Slow down
Won’t you stay here a minute more
I know you want to walk through the door
But it’s all too fast
Let’s make it last a little while
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly
I am your biggest fan
I hope you know I am
But do you think you can somehow
Slow down

The Angels Are Crying In Heaven Tonight
Peter Noone & Natalie Noone - The Angels Are Crying In Heaven Tonight
It was getting dark
Across the park,
When I saw her sitting there,
A little girl who must have lost her way.
Across the park,
When I saw her sitting there,
A little girl who must have lost her way.
The night was clear and I could see
The tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn't say a word,
She just kept staring at the sky.
The tears welled up in her eyes.
She didn't say a word,
She just kept staring at the sky.
I asked her why she was so sad,
And did my best to make her laugh
And when she finally spoke,
Her words took me by surprise. She said:
And did my best to make her laugh
And when she finally spoke,
Her words took me by surprise. She said:
(REFRAIN):
The angels are cying in heaven tonight
Their hearts are so heavy,
They've got tears in their eyes.
The angels are cying in heaven tonight
'Cause they can't understand,
Why we can't find the light.
The angels are cying in heaven tonight
Their hearts are so heavy,
They've got tears in their eyes.
The angels are cying in heaven tonight
'Cause they can't understand,
Why we can't find the light.
She said they cry for all the lies we live with everyday,
And for all the children sick and in the rain.
And for all the children sick and in the rain.
For the noble dreams that somehow seem to always be in vain,
And for the the gentle hearts who still believe in the miracle of faith.
And for the the gentle hearts who still believe in the miracle of faith.
It seems so strange that a little girl could know so much about a troubled world,
But now I see, she had to be an angel in disguise.
But now I see, she had to be an angel in disguise.
