Not For Me Lyrics by Dolly Parton
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(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, not for me.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
