Love Montage: I Saw Him Once\/In My Life\/A Heart Full Of Love
COSETTE:
How strange
This feeling that my life's begun at last
This change,
Can people really fall in love so fast?
What's the matter with you, Cosette?
Have you been too much on your own?
So many things unclear
So many things unknown.
In my life
There are so many questions and answers
That somehow seem wrong...
In my life
There are times when I catch in the silence
The sigh of a faraway song
And it sings
Of a world that I long to see
Out of reach
Just a whisper away
Waiting for me.
Does he know I'm alive?
Do I know if he's real?
Does he see what I saw?
Does he feel what I feel?
In my life
I'm no longer alone
Now the love in my life
Is so near
Find me now, find me here!
VALJEAN:
Dear Cosette,
You're such a lonely child
How pensive, how sad you seem to me
Believe me, were it within my power
I'd fill each passing hour
How quiet it must be, I can see
With only me for company.
COSETTE:
There's so little I know
That I'm longing to know
Of the man that you were
Of the time long ago...
There's so little you say
Of the life you have known
Why you keep to yourself
Why we're always alone
So dark! So dark and deep...
The secrets that you keep!
In my life
Please forgive what I say
You are loving, and gentle, and good
But papa, dear papa
In your eyes I am still like the child
Who's lost in the wood
VALJEAN:
No more words
No more words
It's a time that is dead
There are words
That are better unheard
Better unsaid
COSETTE:
In my life
I'm no longer a child and I yearn
For the truth that you know
Of the years... years ago!
VALJEAN:
You will learn
Truth is given by God
To us all in our time
In our turn...
MARIUS:
In my life
She has burst like the music of angels
The light of the sun.
And my life
Seems to stop as if something is over
And something has scarcely begun
Eponine, you're the friend who has brought me here
Thanks to you, I am one with the gods and Heaven is near
And I soar through a world that is new that is free
EPONINE: [to herself]
Every word that he says is a dagger in me.
In my life
There's been no one like him anywhere
Anywhere, where he is
If he asked... I'd be his...
MARIUS AND EPONINE:
In my life...
There is someone who touches my life.
MARIUS:
Waiting near...
EPONINE:
Waiting here...
MARIUS:
A heart full of love.
A heart full of song.
Im doing everything all wrong.
Oh God, for shame, I do not even know your name.
Dear mademoiselle,
Won't you say?
Will you tell?
COSETTE:
A heart full of love.
No fear... No regret!
MARIUS:
My name is Marius Pontmercy
COSETTE:
And mine's Cosette!
MARIUS:
Cosette!
... I don't know what to say.
COSETTE:
Then make no sound
MARIUS:
I am lost...
COSETTE:
I am found...
MARIUS:
A heart full of light
MARIUS AND COSETTE:
A night bright as day!
MARIUS:
And you must never go away...
Cosette, Cosette!
COSETTE:
This is a chain we'll never break.
MARIUS:
Do I dream?
COSETTE:
I'm awake...
MARIUS:
A hear full of love...
EPONINE: [Interjecting]
He was never mine to lose...
MARIUS AND COSETTE:
A heart full of you
EPONINE: MARIUS:
Why regret what could not be? A single look and then I knew...
COSETTE:
I knew it too!
EPONINE:
These are words he'll never say...
Not to me...
MARIUS:
From today...
EPONINE:
Not to me...
Not for me...
COSETTE:
Everyday...
EPONINE: MARIUS AND COSETTE:
His heart full of love... For it isn't a dream...
He will never feel this way! Not a dream after all!
