FANTINE
Cosette, it 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 Fantie our time is running out
Bur Fantine I swear this on my life.
FANTINW
Look Monsieur 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 Monsieur you came 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
Then I will keep you warm
FANTINE
Take my child I give her to your keeping.
VALJEAN
Take the 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...
