Shel Silverstein - I Can't Touch The Sun lyrics

rate me

No I can't touch the clouds for you I've never reached the sun for you

I've never done the things that you need done for you

I've stretched as high as I can reach I guess I'm not the one for you

Cause I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun for you

No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun

No I can't turn back time for you and make you sweet sixteen again

I can't turn your barren fields to green again

And I can't sit around and talk of how might have been again

No I can't turn back time and make you young again

I can't turn back time and make you young

I can't look inside your mind and see the things you're hopin' for

I can't help you chase the dream you're gropin' for

I know your heart is open wide but I don't know who it's open for

Cause I can't know your mind or chase your dreams for you

Mhm I can't chase your dreams or know your mind

So say goodbye and don't look back I've had some happy days with you

I'm sorry but I can't be the one who stays with you

And if they ask about me you can say I was the one with you

Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you

I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun for you

I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun
