There But For You Go I (from Brigadoon)

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"

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"
