On My Own Lyrics - The Original 1985 London Cast Recording - Les Miserables

And now I'm all alone again, nowhere to turn, no one to go to 

I did not want your money sir, I came out here casue I was told to. 

But now the night is near 

And 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 '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 

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...
