Frances Ruffelle, Robert Billig - On My Own

And now I'm all
alone again
Nowhere to turn
no one to go to
Without a home
without a friend
Without a face to
say hello to
And now the night
is near
Now I can make
believe he's here
Sometimes I walk
alone at night
When everybody
else is sleeping
I think of him and
then I'm happy
With the company
I'm keeping
The city goes
to bed
And I can live
inside my head
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 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 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 is 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
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
