| On My Own -- Les Miserables 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 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 everyday I am learning All my life I�ve only been pretending. Without me His world will go on Turning The world is full of happiness That I have never known. I love him I love him I love him But only � On my own. |
| I know lots of people favor Les Miserables. I don't. The reason is quite simple straight, it's too sad. Not just too sad, it's almost hopeless and helpless. Almost. Perhaps it's time for me to face the fact - the hopeless and helpless. Plus, my dear vocal instructor hates A New Life, because it doesn't push my higher range and all kind of reasons she gave me. I got the score yesterday during the show - went to see the musical with colleagues, guess it's time. To face the fact - On my own. |
