      He just sounds too English and with a very bad cold singing a version of the song that was robbed of its true spirit. She just sounds like a Closet Queen trying very hard to sound straight while singing a Madonna ballad.

    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
