On My Own

On my own,

pre tend ing he’s be side me.

All a lone

I walk with him till morn ing.

With out him ness I feel his arms a round me.

And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me.

In the rain,

the pave ment shines like sil ver.

All the lights

are mist y in the riv er.

In the dark ness the trees are full of star light.

And all I see is him and me for ev er and for ev er.

And I know

it’s on ly in my mind

that I’m talk ing to my self and not to him.

And al though

I know that he is blind,

still I say

there’s a way

for us.

I love him, but when the night is o ver,

he is gone,

the riv er’s just a riv er.

With out him, the world a round me chang es.

The trees are bare and ev ’ry where the streets are full of stran gers.

I love him, but ev ’ry day I’m learn ing,

all my life

I’ve on ly been pre tend ing.

With out me, his world will go on turn ing.

The world is full of hap pi ness that I have nev er known.

I love him,

I love him,

I love him,

but on ly on my own.
