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's 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 would 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.
