On My Own

On my own, pretending he's beside me
 All alone I walk with him 'til morning
 Without him, I feel his arms around me
 And when I lose 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 forever
 And I know it's 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
 The river's just a river
 Without him
 The world around me changes
 The trees are bare and everywhere
 The streets are full of strangers
 I love him
 But every day I'm learning
 All my life
 I've only been pretending
 Without me
 His world will go on turning
 A world that's full of happiness
 That I have never known
 I love him
 I love him
 I love him
 But only on my own
