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 reach the clouds or touch the sun for you,
No I can't reach the clouds or touch the sun.
Second Verse
I can't turn back time for you,
And make you sweet sixteen again,
And 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.
Third Verse
I hope you find somebody who
Can do the things I didn't do
And find a 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, I can't.
Fourth verse
I can't look inside your mind
And see the things you're hoping for.
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.
Outro
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, no, I can't.
Ooh hoo, oh no.
I can't touch the sun, no, no, no.
Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
I can't. No, no, I can't.
Ooh hoo, oh no.
I can't touch the sun,
I can't touch the sun
