Lyrics

[00:00.59] Cosette
[00:00.78] How strange
[00:01.84] This feeling that my life's begun at last
[00:05.29] This change,
[00:06.94] Can people really fall in love so fast
[00:10.63] What's the matter with you, Cosette
[00:13.92] Have you been too much on your own
[00:16.90] So many things unclear
[00:19.51] So many things unknown.
[00:25.16] In my life
[00:27.42] There are so many questions and answers
[00:30.12] That somehow seem wrong
[00:32.95] In my life
[00:34.83] There are times when I catch in the silence
[00:37.58] The sigh of a faraway song
[00:40.17] And it sings
[00:42.42] Of a world that I long to see
[00:44.48] Out of reach
[00:46.32] Just a whisper away
[00:48.26] Waiting for me.
[00:50.74] Does he know I'm alive
[00:52.25] Do I know if he's real
[00:54.52] Does he see what I saw
[00:56.42] Does he feel what I feel
[00:59.33] In my life
[01:01.98] I'm no longer alone
[01:04.11] Now the love in my life
[01:05.66] Is so near
[01:08.24] Find me now, find me here!
[01:15.12] Valjean
[01:17.70] Dear Cosette,
[01:18.97] You're such a lonely child
[01:21.22] How pensive, how sad you seem to me
[01:25.48] Believe me, were it within my power
[01:29.09] I'd fill each passing hour
[01:31.92] How quiet it must be, I can see
[01:35.53] With only me for company.
[01:39.63] Cosette
[01:39.94] There's so little I know
[01:41.61] That I'm longing to know
[01:42.89] Of the child that I was
[01:44.15] In a time long ago...
[01:45.55] There's so little you say
[01:47.83] Of the life you have known
[01:49.12] Why you keep to yourself
[01:50.50] Why we're always alone
[01:52.34] So dark! So dark and deep...
[01:55.44] The secrets that you keep!
[01:59.75] In my life
[02:02.40] I have all that I want
[02:04.02] You are loving and gentle and good
[02:07.70] But Papa, dear Papa,
[02:10.43] In your eyes I am just like a child
[02:12.71] Who is lost in a wood
[02:14.61] Valjean
[02:15.10] No more words
[02:16.30] No more words. It's a time that is dead
[02:18.83] There are words
[02:21.11] That are better unheard,
[02:22.77] Better unsaid.
[02:24.34] Cosette
[02:24.48] In my life
[02:26.84] I'm no longer a child and I yearn
[02:34.35] For the truth that you know
[02:37.25] Of the years... years ago!
[02:42.50] Valjean
[02:42.68] You will learn
[02:44.67] Truth is given by God
[02:46.70] To us all in our time
[02:48.98] In our turn
[02:52.10] Valjean leaves the garden. Marius and Eponine arrive outside.
[02:55.25] Marius
[02:58.39] In my life
[03:00.53] She has burst like the music of angels
[03:03.40] The light of the sun
[03:05.61] And my life seems to stop
[03:08.70] As if something is over
[03:10.31] And something has scarcely begun.
[03:12.79] Eponine
[03:13.86] You're the friend who has brought me here
[03:16.52] Thanks to you I am one with the gods
[03:19.44] And Heaven is near!
[03:21.45] And I soar through a world that is new that is free
[03:25.28] Eponine (to herself)
[03:25.59] Every word that he says is a dagger in me!
[03:29.09] In my life
[03:31.85] There's been no one like him anywhere
[03:34.70] Anywhere, where he is...
[03:38.24] If he asked... I'd be his
[03:43.88] Marius & Eponine
[03:44.24] In my life
[03:46.94] There is someone who touches my life
[03:47.11] Marius
[03:47.11] Waiting near
[03:47.11]
