COSETTE How strange This feeling that my life's begun at last This change, Can people really fall in love so fast? What's the matter with you, Cosette? Have you been too much on your own? So many things unclear So many things unknown. In my life There are so many questions and answers That somehow seem wrong In my life There are times when I catch in the silence The sigh of a faraway song And it sings Of a world that I long to see Out of reach Just a whisper away Waiting for me. Does he know I'm alive? Do I know if he's real? Does he see what I saw? Does he feel what I feel? In my life I'm no longer alone Now the love in my life Is so near Find me now, find me here! VALJEAN Dear Cosette, You're such a lonely child How pensive, how sad you seem to me Believe me, were it within my power I'd fill each pa**ing hour How quiet it must be, I can see With only me for company. COSETTE There's so little I know That I'm longing to know Of the child that I was In a time long ago... There's so little you say Of the life you have known Why you keep to yourself Why we're always alone So dark! So dark and deep... The secrets that you keep! In my life I have all that I want You are loving and gentle and good But Papa, dear Papa, In your eyes I am just like a child Who is lost in a wood VALJEAN No more words No more words. It's a time that is dead There are words That are better unheard, Better unsaid. COSETTE In my life I'm no longer a child and I yearn For the truth that you know Of the years... years ago! VALJEAN You will learn Truth is given by God To us all in our time In our turn (Valjean leaves the garden. Marius and Eponine arrive outside) MARIUS In my life She has burst like the music of angels
The light of the sun And my life seems to stop As if something is over And something has scarcely begun. Eponine You're the friend who has brought me here Thanks to you I am one with the gods And Heaven is near! And I soar through a world that is new that is free EPONINE(to herself) Every word that he says is a dagger in me! In my life There's been no one like him anywhere Anywhere, where he is... If he asked... I'd be his MARIUS & EPONINE In my life There is someone who touches my life MARIUS Waiting near EPONINE Waiting here A Heart Full of Love (Marius goes into the garden, leaving Eponine outside the gate) MARIUS A heart full of love A heart full of song I'm doing everything all wrong Oh God, for shame I do not even know your name Dear Mad'moiselle Won't you say? Will you tell? COSETTE A heart full of love No fear, no regret M, ARIUS My name is Marius Pontmercy COSETTE And mine's Cosette MARIUS Cosette, I don't know what to say COSETTE Then make no sound MARIUS I am lost COSETTE I am found! MARIUS A heart full of light COSETTE A night bright as day MARIUS And you must never go away Cosette, Cosette COSETTE This is a chain we'll never break MARIUS Do I dream? COSETTE I'm awake! MARIUS A heart full of love COSETTE A heart full of you MARIUS A single look and then I knew COSETTE I knew it too MARIUS From today COSETTE Every day COSETTE & MARIUS For it isn't a dream Not a dream after all. EPONINE(Interjecting) He was never mine to lose Why regret what cannot be? These are words he'll never say Not to me... Not to me... Not to me... His heart full of love He will never feel this way...
