On My Own

Elaine Paige

On my own pretending he's beside me
All alone I walk with him till morning
Without him I feel his arms around 
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 starlights
And all I see is him and me 
Forever and 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 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
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
