I Can't Touch the Sun - Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show
written by Shel Silverstein
CI can't reach the clouds for you,
FI'll never touch the Sun for you,
I've never done the things
That you need dCone for you.
I've streached as high as I can reach,
I guess I'm not the Fone for you;
Cause FI can't reach the clouds or touch the Csun for you.
No FI can't reach the clouds or touch tChe sun.
CI can't turn back time for you,
And make you sweet sixtFeen again,
And I can't turn your barren fields
To gCreen again.
And I won't sit around and talk
Of how things might have bFeen again,
No FI can't turn back time and make you Cyoung again.
FI can't turn back time and make you Cyoung.
FI hope you find somebody who
FCan do the things I Cdidn't do
FAnd find a road I dCidn't find
FAnd build a brighter wForld for you.
CI hope you find somebody bold
FEnough to reach and tCake a hold
FAnd guide your ever chCanging mind
FAnd free your ever rFising soul.
FBut I can't. NFo, I can't.
(back to first verse progression)
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.
DSo say goodbye, and don't look back
I've had some happy dCays with you,
FSorry I can't be the one who sCtays with you.
And when they ask about me,
YOu can say I was the oFne with you
Who Fnever reached the clouds or touched the Csun for you.
No, FI can't reach the clouds or touch the Csun.
I guess it's dFone,
I can't touch the sCun for you.
(repeat the last bit as necessary, and have fun. It's a great song on their Sloppy
album, or the Shel Silverstein CD)
