[Originally performed in the "Les Miserables" Broadway play]
|
|
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 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 starlight
|
And all I see is him and me
|
Forever 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 when the night is over
|
He's 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 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
|
