on my own? from les miserables lyrics
Oceana1124
the title is On My Own, but I'm not positive. It goes something like, "On my
own, pretending he's beside me". If so, please email them to me at
Ocean...@aol.com. Thanks!

Eponine:
And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to turn, no one to go to
Without a home, without a friend,
Without a face to say hello to.
And now the night is near
Now 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 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 for ever 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.

"On My Own"
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's gone,
The river's just a river.
Without him,
The world around me changes.
The trees are bare and everywhere
I love him,
But everyday I'm 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.

Yesterday When I Was Young
Herbert Kretzmer
Roy Clark
Yesterday when I was young
the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.
I teased at life as if it were a foolish g ame,
the way the evening breeze may tease a candle fl ame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand.
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
and only now I see how the years ran away.
Yesterday when I was young
so many drinking songs were waiting to be sung,
so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think what life was all about
and every conversation I can now recall
concerned itself with me and nothing else at all.
Yesterday the moon was blue
and every crazy day brought something new to do.
I used my magic age as if itwere a wand
and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died.
The friedns I made all seemed somehow to drift away
and only I am left on stage to end the play.
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung,
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.
The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young.
