On My Own Lyrics

Eponine
     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
     I can make believe he's here
 
     Sometimes I walk alone at night
     When everybody else is sleeping
     I think of him and I'm happy
     With the company I'm keeping
     The city goes to bed
     And I can live inside my head
      
     Own 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 would 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.
