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 forever 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
