On My Own AmyMarie1972: 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 loose my way I close my eyes and he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
Though 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 its only in my mind
And 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 rivers 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
From my favourite musical Les Miserables
Re:On My Own teacherwriterguy: LES MIS! :)
Another fan here. I can admit that, right?
A few of us at the Chicago weekend are going to see it Saturday afternoon. I was JUST listening to the soundtrack last week thinking this song was applicable to divorce, breakup, and separation.

Re:On My Own AmyMarie1972: I went and saw it in December and I had tears in my eyes. Have wanted to see it since I was 13 so it has taken almost 20 years.
It is so great. Hope that you enjoy it as much as I did. As for the above song have listened to it alot, but I was listening to it alot long before the husband left. It is so moving and beautiful.
