Lyrics
Well I can’t touch the clouds for you
I’ve never reached 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 touch the clouds or reach the sun

Now I can’t turn back time for you
Make you sweet sixteen again
I can’t turn our barren fields to green again
And I can’t sit around and talk about what might have been again
I can’t turn back time and make you young again
I can’t turn back time and make you young

I can’t look inside your mind and see the things that you’re hopin’ for
I can’t help you chase the dream you’re gropin’ for
I knew your heart is open wide but don’t know who it’s open for
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
I’m sorry that I can’t be the one who stays with you
And if they ask about me you can say I was the one with you
Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you
I can’t touch the clouds or reach the sun for you
I can’t touch the clouds or reach the sun
