On my own Pretending she's beside me All alone I walk with her till morning Without her I feel her arms around me And when I lose my way I close my eyes And she 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 her and me forever and forever And I know it's only in my mind That I'm talking to myself and not to her And although I know that she is blind Still I say, there's a way for us I love her But when the night is over She is gone The river's just a river Without her The world around me changes The trees are bare and everywhere The streets are full of strangers I love her But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me Her world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known ♪ I love her But every day I'm learning All my life I've only been pretending Without me Her world will go on turning A world that's full of happiness That I have never known I love her I love her I love her But only on my own
