I believe would is the past conditional usage of the aux. verb to want.
I will go home tonight. I would go home tonight, but the train isn't running.
Would, should, could. Similar but all have subtle differences.
From the AP stylebook: "Use should to express an obligation: We should help the needy.
"Use would to express a customary action: In the summer we would spend hours by the seashore.
"Use would also in constructing a conditional past tense, but be careful:
"Wrong: If Soderholm would not have had an injured foot, Thompson would not have been in the lineup.
"Right: If Soderholm had not had an injured foot, Thompson would not have have been in the lineup.

I would like to help you, but I cannot.
Would you please ask a simplier question?
This is where I would like to say goodby.
