Intro

Verse 1

  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!

Verse 2

  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.

Bridge

  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.

Verse 3

  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.

Verse 4

  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.

  A world that's full of happiness that I have never known.

ENDING:

  I love him,

  I love him,

  I love him,

  but only on my own.
