I Can't Touch the Sun

[00:00.48] (Shel Silverstein)
[00:01.95] I can't touch the clouds for you, I'll never reach the sun for you
[00:09.65] I've never done the things that you need done for you
[00:15.87] I've stretched as high as I can reach, I guess I'm not the one for you
[00:24.02] 'Cause I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun for you
[00:30.11] No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun
[00:40.21] I can't turn back time for you, and make you sweet sixteen again
[00:48.24] I can't turn your barren fields to green again
[00:54.06] And I won't sit around and talk of how things might have been again
[01:01.92] No I can't turn back time and make you young again
[01:08.33] I can't turn back time and make you young
[01:14.73] I hope you find somebody who can do the things I didn't do
[01:20.91] And find the road I didn't find, and build a brighter world for you
[01:27.37] I hope you find somebody old enough to reach and take a hold
[01:33.62] And guide your ever changing mind, and free your ever risin' soul
[01:40.03] But I can't, No I can't
[01:46.63] I can't look inside your mind, and see the things you're hopin' for
[01:54.58] And I can't help you chase the dream you're gropin' for
[02:00.45] You say your arms are open wide, but Lord knows who they're open for
[02:08.89] No I can't know your mind or chase your dreams with you
[02:15.24] No I can't chase your dreams or know your mind
[02:21.19] So say goodbye and don't look back, I've had some happy days with you
[02:29.77] Sorry I can't be the one who stays with you
[02:36.08] And when they ask about me, you can say I was the one with you
[02:44.38] Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you
[02:50.60] No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun
[02:56.33] I guess it's done, I can't touch the sun for you, ooh, ooh, ooh
[03:06.17] I can't touch the sun, I can't no I can't, ooh, no, ooh, no
[03:15.86] I can't touch the sun, no lord, no, hmm, hmm...
