On My Own Lyrics

[00:23.11] And now I'm all alone again nowhere to go no one to turn to
[00:30.83] Don't want your money sir, I came out here 'cause I was told to
[00:36.44] And now the night is near
[00:38.43] Now I can make believe he's here
[00:45.42] Sometimes I walk alone at night when everybody else is sleeping
[00:52.11] I think of him and then I'm happy with the company I'm keeping
[00:57.71] The city goes to bed
[01:00.55] And I can live inside my head
[01:12.41] On my own, pretending he's beside me
[01:21.44] All alone, I walk with him 'til morning
[01:30.41] Without him, I feel his arms around me
[01:36.43] And when I lose my way I close my eyes
[01:39.77] And he has found me
[01:43.11] In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
[01:51.14] All the lights are misty in the river
[01:58.67] In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
[02:05.46] And all I see is him and me forever and forever
[02:10.88] And I know it's only in my mind
[02:18.77] That I'm talking to myself and not to him
[02:26.11] And although I know that he is blind
[02:33.14] Still I say, there's a way for us
[02:40.44] I love him, but when the night is over
[02:46.97] He is gone, the river's just a river
[02:54.64] Without him, the world around me changes
[02:59.43] The trees are bare and everywhere
[03:01.22] The streets are full of strangers
[03:05.44] I love him, but every day I'm learning
[03:12.14] All my life, I've only been pretending
[03:20.44] Without me, his world would go on turning
[03:25.77] A world that's full of happiness
[03:27.77] That I have never known
[03:33.44] I love him
[03:37.63] I love him
[03:42.44] I love him
[03:45.11] But only on my own
