In My Life

How strange

This feeling that my life's begun at last

This change

Can people really fall in love so fast?

What's the matter with you, Cosette?

Have you been too much on your own?

So many things unclear

So many things unknown

In my life

Have I so many questions and answers

That somehow seem wrong

In my life

There are times when I catch in the silence

The sigh of a far away song

And it sings of a world that I long to see

Out of reach

Just a whisper away, waiting for me

Does he know I'm alive?

Do I know if he's real?

Does he see what I see?

Does he feel what I feel?

In my life

I'm no longer alone

Now the love in my life is so near

Find me now

Find me here

Dear Cosette

You're such a lonely child

How pensive, how sad you seem to me

Believe me

Were it within my power

I'd fill each passing hour

How quiet it must be

I can see

With only me for company

There's so little I know that I'm longing to know

Of the man that you were in a time long ago

There's so little you say of the life you have known

When you keep to yourself, why we're always alone

So dark, so dark and deep

The secrets that you keep

In my life

Please forgive what I say

You are loving and gentle and good

But Papa, dear Papa

In your eyes I am still like the child who's lost in a wood

No more words

No more words, it's a time that is dead

There are words that are better unheard

Better unsaid

In my life

I'm no longer a child

And I yearn for the truth that you know

Of the years, years ago

You will learn

Truth is given by God to us all in our time

In our turn

In my life

She has burst like the music of angels

The light of the sun

And my life seems to stop as if something is over

And something has scarcely begun

Eponine, you're the friend who has brought me here

Thanks to you, I'm at one with the Gods and Heaven is near

And I soar through a world that is new, that is free

Every word that he says is a dagger in me

In my life

There's been no one like him anywhere, anywhere, where he is

If he asked, I'd be his

In my life

There is someone who touches my life

Waiting near
