Dolly Parton — Not for Me

[Chorus] 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 [Verse] 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 wondering what the future holds Why must it be? That life's so sweet for some, but not for me [Chorus] 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 [Outro] For me it rains, there's only pain It's not for me
