Writer Dolly Parton
Birds sing for everyone but me, for me it rains
And I can`t hear the music for the pain
I see such happiness for some, but not for me
With love, I always try so hard to get it right
I find it gone just when I think I might
Regretfully I see it last for some, but not for me
Out of reach of all the things I want to have and hold
I`ve come to just accept that`s how it goes
I`ve come so close
Not for me, it`s not for me to question, I suppose
But I keep wonderin` what the future holds
Why must it be?
That life`s so sweet for some, but not for me
Birds sing for everyone but me, for me it rains
And I can`t see the sunshine for the pain
But I see such happiness for some, but not for me
For me it rains, there`s only pain
It`s not for me
