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’s 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’s gone and the river is 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 everyday I’m learning
All my life I’ve only been pretending
Without me his world would go on turning
The world is full of happiness that I have ever known

I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own
