Sheet music for full version of On My Own

Where can I get the sheet music for the full version of On My Own including the opening bit with:
"And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to go no one to turn to,
Did not want your money sir
I came out here coz i was told 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."

I've looked all over and I already have this book

but it's not in there, that version starts "On my own, pretending he's beside me ..."

I presume it is some sort of join between On My Own and the previous song but I can't find that bit anywhere.

Help ?

There is always going to be problems with finding complete songs for this musical because if look carefully, it is one long song- musically that is! But never fear, there is a little shop called Dress Circle that have the full version of On My Own, it is within a Musical Selections Book. The shop is located somewhere around Covent Garden/ Cambridge Circus. Very Happy

Thanks for your swift response !

It's good to know a book exists, however I'm not located around London. Do you have any more info regarding which Musical Selections Book so that I can order it online or at least at my local book/music shop ?

However, I don't know which book it is. Confused

I could be mistaken, but it's in one of the "Singers' Musical Theatre Anthologies" for mezzo/belter, isn't it?

Can anyone confirm this is the version I want?

I have a Les Miz book and "On My Own" is in it.

If you'd like to see it, I could scan it in.

I own the Singer's Musical Theatre Anthology. It has OMO, but not the complete version--the intro you wanted is cut.
happyguava

Really? Oh, okay, I was looking at it in the shop the other day and could have sworn it had the intro-ish bits to both OMO and "I Dreamed a Dream".
Spedley

I've found it with the extra 18 bars in a book called:

Audition songs for female singers: Show Hits
The Boublil-Sch�nberg Collection
ISBN 1846092302

and it comes with a CD for practicing

Full Song list:

Castle On a Cloud
How Many Tears?
I Dreamed a Dream
I Saw Him Once
I'd Give My Life For You
The Movie In My Mind
Now That I've Seen Her
On My Own
Quatre Saisons Pour Un Amour
The Sacred Bird
Someone
When Will Someone Hear?

Thank you all for your help!

.......wait, never mind, I own a different book. SMTA might have it, I don't know.
