If I could...

If I could...I would hold you tight
and never let you go
keep you safe
watch you grow

If I could...I would sing
your favorite song
and rock you softly
until you sleep

If I could...I would take 
your pain away 
and heal your aches
till they go away

If I could...I would give
my life for you
to keep you here
so you don't leave

If I could...I would follow you
you've begun a new journey 
were I can not go
my heart aches can't let  go

If I could...

If I only could.
