A Little Fall Of Rain Lyrics

A Little Fall Of Rain lyrics

EPONINE
Don't you fret, M'sieur 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.

MARIUS
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear
God above,
If I could heal your wounds with words of
love.

EPONINE
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort
me

MARIUS
You would live a hundred years
If I could show you
how
I won't desert you now...

EPONINE
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, M'sieur Marius

I don't feel any pain
A
little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt me now

That's all I need to
know
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me
close

MARIUS(in counterpoint)
Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine,
You won't
feel any pain
A little fall of rain
Can hardly hurt you now
I'm
here

I will stay with you
Till you are sleeping

EPONINE
And
rain...

MARIUS
And rain...

EPONINE
Will make the
flowers...

MARIUS
Will make the flowers... grow...

(She dies.
Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground)

ENJOLRAS
She is the
first to fall
The first of us to fall upon this
barricade

MARIUS
Her name was Eponine
Her life was cold and dark,
yet she was unafraid.

COMBEFERRE
We fight here in her
name

PROUVAIRE
She will not die in vain.

LESGLES
She will
not be betrayed.

(They carry her body off)
