si john mayer at si jessica simpson na raw? ... seriously??

anyhoo, ever since i got wind of the news that lea salonga's gonna do les mis' on broadway, i can't get the song "on my own" off my mind. for me, one sure cure for lss is to listen to the song over and over and over again until i grow tired of it. and so, i've been searching the net trying to find a decent version. i think i found one. what's nice about this is that the singer, whoever she is, sounds a bit like lea. or maybe i'm just imagining things?

on my own

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
I can make believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and 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 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 would 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.
