On My Own

Les Miserables

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 every day 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.
