In My Life Lyrics

In My Life lyrics

[Cosette stands in her garden on Rue Plumet.]

 

 Cosette

 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

 There are 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 faraway 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 saw?

 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!

 

 Valjean

 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.

 

 Cosette

 There's so little I know

 That I'm longing to know

 Of the child that I was

 In a time long ago

 There's so little you say

 Of the life you have known

 Why you keep to yourself

 Why we're always alone

 So dark, so dark and deep

 The secrets that you keep!

 In my life

 I have all that I want

 You are loving and gentle and good.

 But Papa, dear Papa,

 In your eyes I am just like a chile

 Who is lost in a wood

 

 Valjean

 No more words

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

 There are words

 That are better unheard, better unsaid.

 

 Cosette

 In my life

 I'm no longer a child and I yearn

 For the truth that you know

 Of the years... years ago!

 

 Valjean

 You will learn

 Truth is given by God

 To us all

 In our time

 In our turn

 

 [Valjean leaves the garden; Marius and Eponine are outside.]

 

 Marius

 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 am one with the Gods

 And Heaven is near!

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

 

 Eponine [to herself]

 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

 

 Marius & Eponine

 In my life

 There is someone who touches my life

 

 Marius

 Waiting near

 

 Eponine

 Waiting here
