I can't touch the clouds for you
I'll never reach the sun
I've never done the things
that you need done
I've stretched as high as I can reach
I guess I'm not the one
'Cause I can't touch the clouds
or reach the sun
No, I can't reach the clouds
or reach 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 can't sit around and talk
about of might have been again
I can't turn back time
and make you young again
No, I can't turn back time
and make you young
I can't look inside your mind
and see the things you're hopin' for
I can't help you chase
the dream you're gropin' for
I know you heart is open wide
but don't know who is open for
No, I can't know your mind
or chase your dreams
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, but I'm not
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
Who never touched the clouds
or reached the sun
No, I can't reach the clouds
or touch the sun
