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 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
for ever 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 everyday 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.
