Fantine's Death: Come to Me

FANTINE
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 hear?
The winter wind is crying
There's a darkness that comes without a warning
But I will sing you lullabies
And wake you in the morning

VALJEAN
Oh, Fantine, your time is running out
But Fantine, I swear this on my life

FANTINE
Look M'sieur, where all the children play...

VALJEAN
Be at peace
Be at peace, evermore

FANTINE
My Cosette...

VALJEAN
Shall live in my protection

FANTINE
Take her now...

VALJEAN
Your child will want for nothing

FANTINE
Good M'sieur, you come from God in Heaven

VALJEAN
And none will ever harm Cosette as long as I am living

FANTINE
Take my hand, the night grows ever colder

VALJEAN
And I will keep you warm.

FANTINE
Take my child, I give her to your keeping

VALJEAN
Take shelter from the storm.

FANTINE
For God's sake, please stay 'til I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her
And I'll see her when I wake...
