I Can`t Touch the Sun — текст песни (Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show)

(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....
