I Can't Touch The Sun Lyrics - Shel Silverstein

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
