Epilogue lyrics
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:
Monsieur, I bless your name
Monsieur, lay down your burden
You raised my child in love
Valjean:
I am ready, Fantine
At the end of my days
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
And gave you to my keeping
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!
