Come To Me (Fantine's Death)

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 see

The evening star appearing?

Come to me

And rest against my shoulder

How fast the minutes fly away

And every minute colder

Hurry near

Another day is dying

Don't you hear?

The winter wind is crying

There's a darkness which comes without a warning

But I will sing you lulabies and wake you in the morning

Oh Fantine! Our time is running out

But, Fantine, I swear this on my life

Look, Monsieur, where all the children play

Be at peace

Be at peace evermore

My Cosette

Shall live in my protection

Take her now

Your child will want for nothing

Good Monsieur

You come from God in Heaven

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

Take my hand

The night grows ever colder

Then I will keep you warm

Take my child

I give her to your keeping

Take shelter from the storm

For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping

And tell Cosette I love her and I'll see her when I wake
