[01:00.13]Alone I wait in the shadows
[01:04.51]I count the hours till I can sleep
[01:08.65]I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by
[01:12.83]It made her weep to know I die.
[01:20.84]Alone at the end of the day
[01:25.14]Upon this wedding night I pray
[01:29.67]Take these children, my Lord, to thy embrace
[01:36.06]And show them grace.
[01:48.17]God on high
[01:55.58]Hear my prayer
[02:02.84]Take me now
[02:08.04]To thy care
[02:14.14]Where You are
[02:19.48]Let me be
[02:25.78]Take me now
[02:31.94]Take me there
[02:38.18]Bring me home
[02:44.79]Bring me home.
[02:51.00]
[02:51.66](Fantine's spirit appears to Valjean)
[02:52.01]FANTINE
[02:52.21]M'sieur, I bless your name   ——I am ready, Fantine
[02:58.88]M'sieur, lay down your burden  ——At the end of my days
[03:05.89]You raised my child with love  ——She's the best of my life.
[03:10.78]And you will be with god.
[03:18.00]
[03:18.48](Marius and Cosette rush into the room; they do not see Fantine)
[03:18.79]COSETTE
[03:28.73]Papa, Papa, I do not understand!
[03:31.56]Are you alright? They said you'd gone away.
[03:33.90]
[03:33.99]VALJEAN
[03:37.57]Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now?
[03:40.40]Thank God, thank God, I've lived to see this day.
[03:43.50]
[03:43.57]MARIUS
[03:43.82]It's you who must forgive a thoughtless fool
[03:46.76]It's you who must forgive a thankless man
[03:51.62]It's thanks to you that I am living
[03:55.61]And again I lay down my life at your feet.
[03:59.54]Cosette, your father is a saint.
[04:03.31]When they wounded me
[04:05.28]He took me from the barricade
[04:08.45]Carried like a babe
[04:11.17]And brought me home to you!
[04:18.60]
[04:18.69]VALJEAN(to Cosette)
[04:26.65]Now you are here
[04:33.11]Again beside me
[04:39.52]Now I can die in peace
[04:43.71]For now my life is blessed...
[04:48.50]
[04:48.71]COSETTE
[04:49.96]You will live, Papa, you're going to live
[04:56.14]It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye!
[05:02.00]
[05:02.10]VALJEAN
[05:02.59]Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die
[05:09.15]I'll obey,
[05:13.09]I will try.
[05:17.02]On this page
[05:20.50]I write my last confession.
[05:27.01]Read it well
[05:29.38]When I at last am sleeping.
[05:35.74]It's the story
[05:37.90]Of those who always loved you.
[05:42.24]Your mother gave her life for you
[05:45.20]Then gave you to my keeping.
[05:49.00]
[05:49.59](The other spirits, including Eponine appear)
[05:50.13]FANTINE
[05:50.39]Come with me
[05:53.21]Where chains will never bind you
[05:59.00]All your grief
[06:01.88]At last, at last behind you.
[06:07.58]Lord in Heaven,
[06:10.50]Look down on him in mercy.
[06:14.50]
[06:14.90]VALJEAN
[06:15.07]Forgive me all my trespasses
[06:16.73]And take me to your glory.
[06:20.93]FANTINE & EPONINE
[06:22.19]Take my hand
[06:25.51]And lead me to salvation.
[06:31.62]Take my love,
[06:34.50]For love is everlasting.
[06:39.52]VALJEAN, FANTINE & EPONINE
[06:40.19]And remember
[06:43.36]The truth that once was spoken
[06:47.76]To love another person
[06:49.77]Is to see the face of God!
[06:59.80]
[06:59.84]CHORUS
[07:00.13]Do you hear the people sing
[07:02.61]Lost in the valley of the night?
[07:05.73]It is the music of a people
[07:08.75]Who are climbing to the light.
[07:11.94]For the wretched of the earth
[07:14.91]There is a flame that never dies.
[07:17.94]Even the darkest night will end
[07:20.31]And the sun will rise.
[07:24.25]They will live again in freedom
[07:27.37]In the garden of the Lord.
[07:30.75]They will walk behind the plough-share,
[07:33.69]They will put away the sword.
[07:37.00]The chain will be broken
[07:38.27]And all men will have their reward.
[07:42.41]Will you join in our crusade?
[07:45.29]Who will be strong and stand with me?
[07:48.36]Somewhere beyond the barricade
[07:51.02]Is there a world you long to see?
[07:54.32]Do you hear the people sing?
[07:57.19]Say, do you hear the distant drums?
[08:00.43]It is the future that they bring
[08:02.85]When tomorrow comes!
[08:06.42]Will you join in our crusade?
[08:09.40]Who will be strong and stand with me?
[08:12.47]Somewhere beyond the barricade
[08:15.15]Is there a world you long to see?
[08:18.47]Do you hear the people sing?
[08:21.25]Say, do you hear the distant drums?
[08:24.49]It is the future that they bring
[08:27.09]When tomorrow comes...
[08:40.08]Tomorrow comes!
