Lyrics

Fantine is lying in a hospital bed dileriously dreaming of her daughter Cosette

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 enters

Valjean:

Oh Fantine, our 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 shall ever harm Cosette

As long as I am living

Fantine:

Take my hand, the night grows ever colder

Valjean:

Then 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...

She dies with a smile. Javert arrives
