Lyrics

On my (D)own,

pre (Em)tend ing he’s be (D)side me.

All a (Bm)lone,

I (E7)walk with him till (A)morn ing.

With out (F#7)him ness I feel his arms a (Bm)round

And (Em)when I lose my way I close my (Em)eyes and he has (A)found me!

In the (D)rain,

the (Em)pave ment shines like (D)sil ver.

All the (Bm)lights

are (E7)mist y in the (A)ri ver.

In the (F#7)him ness the trees are full of (Bm)star

And (Em)all I see is him and me for (Em)ev er and for (A)found me!

In the (A)ev er.

And I (Bb)know

it’s (C)on ly in my (Bb)mind,

that I’m (Gm)talk ing to my (Bb)self and not to (Eb)him.

And, al (Em)though

I know that he is (B)blind,

still I (Am7)say

there’s a (C7)way for us.

I love (F)him

but (Gm)when the night is (F)o ver

he is (Dm)gone,

the (G7)ri ver’s just a (C)ri ver.

With out (A)him,

the world a round me (Dm)chan

the (Gm)trees are bare, and ev ’ry where the (Gm)streets are full of (C)stran gers.

I love (F)him,

but (Bb)ev ’ry day I’m (F)learn ing

all my (G7)life,

I’ve on ly been pre (C)tend ing.

With out (A)me,

his world will go on (Dm)turn

the (Gm)world is full of hap pi ness that I have nev er (C)known.

I love him,

I love him,

I love him,

but on ly on my (F)own.
