VALJEAN Alone I wait in the shadows I count the hours till I can sleep I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by It made her weep to know I die. Alone at the end of the day Upon this wedding night I pray Take these children, my Lord, to thy embrace And show them grace.
God on high Hear my prayer Take me now To thy care Where You are Let me be Take me now Take me there Bring me home Bring me home.
FANTINE M'sieur, I bless your name
VALJEAN I am ready, Fantine
FANTINE M'sieur, lay down your burden
VALJEAN At the end of my days
FANTINE You raised my child in love
VALJEAN She's the best of my life.
FANTINE And you will be with god.
COSETTE Papa, Papa, I do not understand! Are you alright? They said you'd gone away.
VALJEAN Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now? Thank God, thank God, I've lived to see this day.
MARIUS It's you who must forgive a thoughtless fool It's you who must forgive a thankless man It's thanks to you that I am living And again I lay down my life at your feet.
Cosette, your father is a saint. When they wounded me He took me from the barricade Carried like a babe And brought me home to you!
VALJEAN Now you are here Again beside me Now I can die in peace For now my life is blessed...
COSETTE You will live, Papa, you're going to live It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye!
VALJEAN Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die I'll obey, I will try. On this page I write my last confession. Read it well When I at last am sleeping. It's the story Of those who always loved you. Your mother gave her life for you Then gave you to my keeping.
(Valjean dies)
FANTINE Come with me Where chains will never bind you All your grief At last, at last behind you. Lord in Heaven, Look down on him in mercy.
VALJEAN Forgive me all my trespasses And take me to your glory.
FANTINE & EPONINE Take my hand And lead me to salvation. Take my love, For love is everlasting.
VALJEAN, FANTINE & EPONINE And remember The truth that once was spoken To love another person Is to see the face of God!
