"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 everyone 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 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 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 stranger
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."
Jack Kelly listened as the voice around the corner faded away as softly and subtly as it had first risen. It was beautiful--so full of emotion; the haunting echo through the dusty street; flowing, deep and dark like twilight shining over the river. He smiled as he imagined the girl to whom the voice belonged. He was sure she was more beautiful than any other he had seen before; even Sarah Jacobs.
