On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til 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 its 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 that theres a way for us
I upendo 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 upendo him
But everyday 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 upendo him
I upendo him
I upendo him
But only on my own__
