I Can’t Touch The Sun Shel Silverstein

[Verse]
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 touch the clouds or reach 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
I can't turn back time and make you young again
No, I can't turn back time and make you young

I can't crawl inside your head 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
I can't know your mind or chase your dreams for you
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
No, I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun for you
I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun
