Claude-Michel Schönberg
On My Own
[Intro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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 forever and forever

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
I love him, but when the night is ovеr
He is gone, the rivеr's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers
[Verse 5]
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

[Outro]
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
