On my own         On my own   Pretending he's beside me   All alone   I walk with him till morning   Without him   I feel his arms around me   And when I loose my way   I close my eyes and he has found me      In the rain   The pavement shines like silver   All the lights are misty in the river   In the darkness   The trees are full of starlight   And all I see is him and me forever      And I know   Its only in my mind   That I'm talking to myself   And not to him   And although I know that he is blind   Still I say   There's a way for us      I love him   But when the night is over   He is gone   And the river's just a river   Without him   The world around me changes   The trees are barren everywhere   And the streets are full of strangers      I love him   But everyday I'm learning   All my life   I've only been pretending   Without me   His world will go on turning   The world is full of happiness   That I have never known      I love him   I love him   I love him   But only   On my own
