Lyrics

[00:20.25] And now I'm all alone again
[00:23.59] Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
[00:27.51] Without a home, without a friend,
[00:30.32] Without a face to say hello to.
[00:33.61] And now the night is near
[00:36.47] Now I can make believe he's here.
[00:43.85] Sometimes I walk alone at night
[00:46.27] When everybody else is sleeping
[00:49.77] I think of him and then I'm happy
[00:52.86] With the company I'm keeping
[00:56.01] The city goes to bed
[00:59.64] And I can live inside my head.
[01:11.95] On my own
[01:17.62] Pretending he's beside me
[01:22.88] All alone, I walk with him till morning
[01:30.90] Without him
[01:35.03] I feel his arms around me
[01:39.33] And when I lose my way I close my eyes
[01:42.90] And he has found me
[01:46.53] In the rain the pavement shines like silver
[01:54.78] All the lights are misty in the river
[02:02.79] In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
[02:10.36] And all I see is him and me for ever and forever
[02:16.69] And I know it's only in my mind
[02:24.32] That I'm talking to myself and not to him
[02:31.05] And although I know that he is blind
[02:38.31] Still I say, there's a way for us
[02:45.22] I love him
[02:47.42] But when the night is over
[02:51.80] He is gone, the river's just a river
[02:59.52] Without him the world around me changes
[03:04.83] The trees are bare and everywhere
[03:06.94] The streets are full of strangers
[03:11.27] I love him
[03:13.75] But every day I'm learning
[03:18.64] All my life I've only been pretending
[03:26.10] Without me his world will go on turning
[03:31.97] A world that's full of happiness
[03:34.34] That I have never known!
[03:41.55] I love him
[03:46.41] I love him
[03:50.78] I love him
[03:53.55] But only on my own.
[04:08.81]
