In My Life Lyrics

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 child that I was

In a 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

I have all that I want

You are loving and gentle and good

But Papa, dear Papa,

In your eyes I am just like a child

Who is lost in a 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

(Valjean leaves the garden. Marius and Eponine arrive outside)

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 hereClaude-Michel Schonberg - In My Life - http://motolyrics.com/claude-michel-schonberg/in-my-life-lyrics.html

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 & EPONINE

In my life

There is someone who touches my life

MARIUS

Waiting near

EPONINE

Waiting here

A Heart Full of Love

(Marius goes into the garden, leaving Eponine outside the gate)

MARIUS

A heart full of love

A heart full of song

I'm doing everything all wrong

Oh God, for shame

I do not even know your name

Dear Mad'moiselle

Won't you say?

Will you tell?

COSETTE

A heart full of love

No fear, no regret

M, ARIUS

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

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 heart full of love

COSETTE

A heart full of you

MARIUS

A single look and then I knew

COSETTE

I knew it too

MARIUS

From today

COSETTE

Every day

COSETTE & MARIUS

For it isn't a dream

Not a dream after all.

EPONINE(Interjecting)

He was never mine to lose

Why regret what cannot be?

These are words he'll never say

Not to me...

Not to me...

Not to me...

His heart full of love

He will never feel this way...
