I Can't Touch The Sun Lyrics - Dr. Hook

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 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 bold enough to reach and take a hold 

And guide your ever changing mind and free your ever rising soul 

But I can't, no, no, I can't 

I can't look inside your mind and see the things you're hoping for 

And I can't help you chase the dream you're groping 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 

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 

I can't touch the sun, I can't, no I can't, no 

I can't touch the sun, no, Lord, I can't
