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
