A Little Fall of Rain

There's a boy climbing the barricade!

Good God! What are you doing?

'Ponine, have you no fear?

Have you seen my beloved?

Why have you come back here?

Took the letter like you said

I met her father at the door

He said he would give it

I don't think I can stand any more

Éponine, what's wrong?

I feel there's something wet upon your hair

Éponine, you're hurt!

You need some help

Oh God, it's everywhere

Don't you fret, Monsieur Marius

I don't feel any pain

A little fall of rain

Can hardly hurt me now

You're here, that's all I need to know

And you will keep me safe

And you will keep me close

And rain will make the flowers grow

But you will live, 'Ponine—dear God above

If I could heal your wounds with words of love

Just hold me now and let it be

Shelter me, comfort me

You would live a hundred years

If I could show you how

I won't desert you now

The rain can't hurt me now

This rain will wash away what's past

And you will keep me safe

And you will keep me close

I'll sleep in your embrace at last

The rain that brings you here is heaven blessed

The skies begin to clear and I'm at rest

A breath away from where you are

I've come home from so far

So don't you fret, Monsieur Marius (Hush-a-bye, dear Éponine)

I don't feel any pain (You won't feel any pain)

A little fall of rain (A little fall of rain)

Can hardly hurt me now (Can hardly hurt you now)

I'm here

That's all I need to know

And you will keep me safe (I'll stay with you)

And you will keep me close (Till you are sleeping)

And rain

And rain

Will make the flowers

Will make the flowers—
