Epilogue lyrics

Valjean:

Alone, I wait in the shadows

I count the hours till I can sleep

I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by

It made her weep to know I die

Alone at the end of the day

Upon this wedding night, I pray

Take these children, my Lord, to thy embrace

And show them grace

God on high, hear my prayer

Take me now to thy care

Where You are, let me be

Take me now, take me there

Bring me home

Bring me home

Fantine:

Monsieur, I bless your name

Monsieur, lay down your burden

You raised my child in love

Valjean:

I am ready, Fantine

At the end of my days

She's the best of my life

Fantine:

And you will be with God

Cosette:

Papa, Papa, I do not understand!

Are you alright?

They said you'd gone away

Valjean:

Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now?

Thank God, thank God, I've lived to see this day

Marius:

It's you who must forgive a thoughtless fool

It's you who must forgive a thankless man

It's thanks to you that I am living

And again I lay down my life at your feet

Cosette, your father is a saint

When they wounded me

He took me from the barricade

Carried like a babe

And brought me home to you!

Valjean:

Now you are here

Again, beside me

Now, I can die in peace

For now my life is blessed

Cosette:

You will live!

Papa, you're going to live!

It's too soon

Too soon to say goodbye

Valjean:

Yes, Cosette

Forbid me now to die

I'll obey

I will try

On this page

I write my last confession

Read it well

When I, at last, am sleeping

It's the story

Of those who always loved you:

Your mother gave her life for you

And gave you to my keeping

Fantine:

Come with me

Where chains will never bind you

All your grief

At last, at last, behind you

Lord in Heaven

Look down on him in mercy

Valjean:

Forgive me all my trespasses

And take me to Your glory

Fantine & Eponine:

Take my hand

And lead me to salvation

Take my love

For love is everlasting

Valjean, Fantine & Eponine:

And remember

The truth that once was spoken:

To love another person is to see the face of God!
