Les Miserables - On My Own (Eponine)
I first noticed this song when we had to play it as a band piece.. and then I was hooked on the melody.I then asked a classmate to lend me her LD for Les Miserables... and then I was hooked on the lyrics.
Wish I could perform this song for a song signing performance... but i guess I dun have much chance to do that anymore.. or maybe i could persuade everyone to sign this song on Friday?
But anyway.. the background to this song:
This song is sang by Eponine .. she loved the guy who loved the female lead.. if I remember correctly, the female lead is her best friend too... i guess you could pretty much guess what happened..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On My Own
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.
.
[If you want to hear how it sounds like, switch on your speakers..
the beginning may not sound for those who are hearing it for the first time.. but do give this song a chance.. the nicer part is after the prologue.
Also, this version is not the version I was looking for.
When I find it, i will change the song unloaded.]
