On My Own (From Les Miserables) Lyrics

On my own,
Pretending your'e beside me.
All alone,
I walk with you till morning.
Without you,
I feel your arms around me,
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And you have 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 you and me for ever and forever

And I know
It's only in my mind,
That I'm talking to myself
And not to you.

And although I know that you are blind,
Still I say,
There's a way for us.

I love you,
But when the night is over,
You are gone,
The river's just a river.

Without you,
The world around me changes.
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers.

I love you,
But every day I'm learning,
All my life,
I've only been pretending!

Without me,
Your world will go on turning,
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known!

I love you…
I love you…
I love you…
But only on my own...
