There But For You Go I Lyrics - Singles - Lerner Alan Jay

Tommy 

This is hard to say, but as I wandered through the lea, 

I felt for just a fleeting moment that I suddenly was free of being lonely. 

Then I closed my eyes and saw the very reason why. 

I saw a man with his head bowed low. 

His heart had no place to go. 

I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh: 

There but for you go I. 

I saw a man walking by the sea, 

Alone with the tide was he. 

I looked and I thought as I watched him go by: 

There but for you go I. 

Lonely men around me, trying not to cry, 

Till the day you found me, there among them was I. 

I saw a man who had never known a love that was all his own. 

I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky: 

There, but for you, go I.
