There But for You I Go [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
'Til the day you found me
There a man, there 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"

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"
