TOMMY:<br>
This is hard to say, but as I wandered through the lea,<br>
I felt for just a fleeting moment that<br>
I suddenly was free of being lonely.<br>
Then I closed my eyes and saw the very reason why.<br>
I saw a man with his head bowed low.<br>
His heart had no place to go.<br>
I looked and I thought to myself with a sigh:<br>
There but for you go I.<br>
I saw a man walking by the sea,<br>
Alone with the tide was he.<br>
I looked and I thought as I watched him go by:<br>
There but for you go I.<br>
Lonely men around me, trying not to cry,<br>
Till the day you found me, there among them was I.<br>
I saw a man who had never known a love that was all his own.<br>
I thought as I thanked all the stars in the sky:<br>
There, but for you, go I.<br>
