fantine's death

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

oh

fantine

our time is running out

but fantine

i swear this on my life

look

m'sieur

where all the children play

be at peace

be at peace evermore

my cosette. shall live in my protection

take her now

your child will want for nothing

good m'sieur

you come from god in heaven

and none shall ever harm cosette

as long as i am living

take my hand

the night grows ever colder

then i will keep you warm

take my child

i give her to your keeping

take shelter from the storm

for god's sake

please stay till i am sleeping

and tell cosette i love her

and i'll see her when i wake
