And now I'm all alone again nowhere to go

No one to turn to

Did not want your money sir I came out here cause I was told 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
