| Fantine's Death (Come To Me) |
| FANTINE: Cosette, it's turned so cold Cosette, it's past your bedtime You've played the day away, and soon it will be night Come to me, Cosette the light is fading Don't you see the evening star appearing? Come to me, and rest against my shoulder How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder. Hurry near, another day is dying Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying? There's a darkness which comes without a warning But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning. VALJEAN: Oh Fantine, your time is running out But Fantine, I swear this on my life FANTINE: Look M'sieur, where all the children play... VALJEAN: Be at peace Be at peace evermore FANTINE: My Cosette... VALJEAN: Shall live in my protection FANTINE: Take her now... VALJEAN: Your child will want for nothing FANTINE: Good M'sieur, you come from God in heaven VALJEAN: And none will ever harm Cosette as long as I am living FANTINE: Take my hand, the night grows ever colder VALJEAN: And I will keep you warm FANTINE: Take my child, I give her to your keeping VALJEAN: Take shelter from the storm FANTINE: For God's sake, please stay 'till I am sleeping And tell Cosette I love her, and I'll see her when I wake... |
