In My Life
How strangeThis feeling that my life's begun at lastThis 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 unclearSo many things unknown.
In my lifeThere are so many questions and answersThat somehow seem wrongIn my lifeThere are times when I catch in the silenceThe sigh of a faraway songAnd it singsOf a world that I long to seeOut of reachJust a whisper awayWaiting 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 lifeI'm no longer aloneNow the love in my lifeIs so nearFind me now, find me here!
VALJEANDear Cosette,You're such a lonely childHow pensive, how sad you seem to meBelieve me, were it within my powerI'd fill each passing hourHow quiet it must be, I can seeWith only me for company.
COSETTEThere's so little I knowThat I'm longing to knowOf the child that I wasIn a time long ago...There's so little you sayOf the life you have knownWhy you keep to yourselfWhy we're always aloneSo dark! So dark and deep...The secrets that you keep!
In my lifeI have all that I wantYou are loving and gentle and goodBut Papa, dear Papa,In your eyes I am just like a childWho is lost in a wood
VALJEANNo more wordsNo more words. It's a time that is deadThere are wordsThat are better unheard,Better unsaid.
COSETTEIn my lifeI'm no longer a child and I yearnFor the truth that you knowOf the years... years ago!
VALJEANYou will learnTruth is given by GodTo us all in our timeIn our turn
(Valjean leaves the garden. Marius and Eponine arrive outside)
MARIUSIn my lifeShe has burst like the music of angelsThe light of the sunAnd my life seems to stopAs if something is overAnd something has scarcely begun.EponineYou're the friend who has brought me hereThanks to you I am one with the godsAnd 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 lifeThere's been no one like him anywhereAnywhere, where he is...If he asked... I'd be his
MARIUS & EPONINEIn my lifeThere is someone who touches my life
MARIUSWaiting near
EPONINEWaiting here
