Every Day

[Cosette arrives to help Marius in his recovery.]

Cosette
Every day
You walk with stronger step
You walk with longer step
The worst is over

Marius
Every day
I wonder every day
Who was it brought me here
From the barricade?

Cosette
Don't think about it, Marius.
With all the years ahead of us!
I will never go away
And we will be together
Every day. Every day,
We'll remember that night
And the vow that we made:

'A heart full of love
A night full of you'

The words are old
But always true
Oh, God, for shame
You did not even know my name.

Marius
Dear Mad'moiselle
I was lost in your spell.

[Valjean enters, unnoticed.]

Cosette
A heart full of love
No fear no regret
`My name is Marius Pontmercy' Valjean [to himself]
She was never mine to keep
She is youthful
She is free.

Marius
Cosette, Cosette!

Cosette
I saw you waiting and I knew.
Love is the garden of the young

Marius
Waiting for you
At your feet Let it be

Cosette
At your call
Let it be

Marius & Cosette
At your call
A heart full of love
This I give you
On this day.

[They notice Valjean.]

Marius
M'sieur, this is a day
I can never forget
Is gratitude enough
For giving me Cosette?
Your home shall be with us
And not a day shall pass
But will will prove our love
To you, whom we shall call
A father to us both
A father to us all.

[Cosette leaves.]
