On my own, pretending he's beside me,
All alone, I walk with him 'til 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 for ever
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 is gone and 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:
A world that's full of happiness that I have never known
I love him: I love him: I love Him, but only on my own
