Alan Jay Lerner There But For You Go I
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.
