If It Were Up to Me

IF IT WERE UP TO ME

If it were up to me no one would hurt you
No one would cut you so deep
If it were up to me no one would desert you
You’d never cry yourself to sleep

And I would be there
Each time you feel scared
And I would love you
And shine like the sun and the moon and the stars

If it were up to me you’d be protected
By all the love you give
If it were up to me we’d be connected
All of the days we get to live

And I would be there
Each time you feel scared
And I would love you
And shine like the sun and the moon and the stars

I can’t hold your hand all the time
I’ve got to let go, I know
Cuz you need to be free to follow your dreams
In this world on your own

If it were up to me a heart that is broken
Would bounce back like a ball
If it were up to me you’re eyes would be open
And you’d never wait for his call

And I would be there
Each time you feel scared
And I would love you
And shine like the sun and the moon and the stars
In the sky above you
