(Dolly Parton) Birds sing for everyone but me, for me it rains And I can't hear the music for the pain I see such happiness for some, but not for me With love, I always try so hard to get it right I find it gone just when I think I might Regretfully I see it last for some, but not for me Out of reach of all the things I want to have and hold I've come to just accept that's how it goes I've come so close Not for me, it's not for me to question, I suppose But I keep wonderin' what the future holds Why must it be? That life's so sweet for some, but not for me Birds sing for everyone but me, for me it rains And I can't see the sunshine for the pain But I see such happiness for some, but not for me For me it rains, there's only pain It's not for me
