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 sometimes 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?

Did 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 be

Believe me, were it within my power,

I'd fill each passing 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



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 that 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:

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 AND EPONINE:

In my life, there is someone who touches my life



MARIUS:

Waiting near



EPONINE:

Waiting here
