on my own

• les miserables müzikalinde eponine in marius için söylediği güzel şarkı..(bkz: lea salonga)
  
  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..

• les miserables muzikalinin muthis bircok sarkisindan empty chairs at empty tables'dan sonra belki de en cok gonulde kalani..umutsuz asklarin sarkisidir, lakin sesine hayran oldugumuz lea salonga'nin buradaki isterik yorumu yerine bu sarkida muzikalin orijinal londra ve broadway kastindaki frances ruffelle'in yorumu tercih edilmelidir derim, kendisi sarkiyi cidden daha bir hakkini vererek soyler (bosuna tony almamis bu rolle hatun yani)..
• dawson's creek dizisinin (sallamıyorsam) 2. sezonunda joey'nin (ve hatta pacey'nin) katıldığı güzellik yarışmasının yetenek sergileme kısmında söylediği şarkıdır. şarkının giriş kısmında jen'in dawson'la ilişkileri hakkındaki konuşmaya çalışması kısmı da mevcuttur. ancak joey şarkıyı söylemeye başlayınca dawson büyülenmiş gözlerle kendisini izleyekalır, konuşma biter.

• something out of you
  i think it's you that i see
  i cannot continue if i'm not being seen
  it's what i do
  it's what i want to be formed
  it's what i was
  and what i've come to believe
  
  it's taking me time to believe in this
  i'm trying so hard to continue this
  i'm giving it time so that i can see
  but i'm better off here on my own right now
  
  wondering and trying hard to see where i am
  i will have to do whats best for me
  in spite of you
  instead of anything else
  in spite of this
  instead of staying around
  
  it's taking me time to believe in this
  i'm trying so hard to continue this
  i'm giving it time so that i can see
  but i'm better off here on my own right now
  
  i gotta do something
  i gotta be someone
  i gotta do something
  i gotta be someone
  
  it's taking me time to believe in this
  i'm trying so hard to continue this
  i'm giving it time so that i can see
  but i'm better off here on my own right now
  
  it's taking me time to believe in this
  i'm trying so hard to continue this
  i'm giving it time so that i can see
  but i'm better off here on my own right now
  
  i gotta do something
  i gotta be someone
  i gotta do something and
  i gotta be someone

• dawson s creekte katie holmesun söyledigi on my own'un sözleri şöyledir:
  
  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 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.
