Lyrics:

(Shel Silverstein)

i Can't Touch The Clouds For You, I'll Never Reach 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

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 Won't Sit Around And Talk Of How Things 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 Hope You Find Somebody Who Can Do The Things I Didn't Do
and Find The Road I Didn't Find, And Build A Brighter World For You
i Hope You Find Somebody Old Enough To Reach And Take A Hold
and Guide Your Ever Changing Mind, And Free Your Ever Risin' Soul
but I Can't, No I Can't

i Can't Look Inside Your Mind, And See The Things You're Hopin' For
and I Can't Help You Chase The Dream You're Gropin' For
you Say Your Arms Are Open Wide, But Lord Knows Who They're Open For
no I Can't Know Your Mind Or Chase Your Dreams With You
no 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
sorry I Can't Be The One Who Stays With You
and When They Ask About Me, You Can Say I Was The One With You
who Never Touched The Clouds Or Reached The Sun With You
no I Can't Reach The Clouds Or Touch The Sun

i Guess It's Done, I Can't Touch The Sun For You, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
i Can't Touch The Sun, I Can't No I Can't, Ooh, No, Ooh, No
i Can't Touch The Sun, No Lord, No, Hmm, Hmm....
