On

my

own

Pre-

ten-

ding

he's

be-

side

me

All

a-

lone

I

walk

with

him

'til

mor-

ning

With-

out

him

I

feel

his

arms

a-

round

me

And

when

I

lose

my

way

I

close

my

eyes

And

he

has

found

me

In

the

rain

the

pave-

ment

shines

like

sil-

ver

All

the

lights

are

mis-

ty

in

the

ri-

ver

In

the

dark-

ness

the

trees

are

full

of

star-

light

And

all

I

see

is

him

and

me

for-

e-

ver

and

for-

e-

ver

And

I

know

it's

on-

ly

in

my

mind

That

I'm

tal-

king

to

my-

self

and

not

to

him

And

al-

though

I

know

that

he

is

blind

Still

I

say,

there's

a

way

for

us

I

love

him

But

when

the

night

is

o-

ver

He

is

gone

The

ri-

ver's

just

a

ri-

ver

With-

out

him

The

world

a-

round

me

chan-

ges

The

trees

are

bare

and

eve-

ry-

where

The

streets

are

full

of

stran-

gers

I

love

him

But

eve-

ry

day

I'm

lear-

ning

All

my

life

I've

on-

ly

been

pre-

ten-

ding

With-

out

me

His

world

will

go

on

tur-

ning

A

world

that's

full

of

hap-

pi-

ness

That

I

have

ne-

ver

known

I

love

him

I

love

him

I

love

him

But

on-

ly

on

my

own
