Rue Plumet: In My Life

[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 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.

[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 child
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.

[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]
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
Waiting near / Waiting here.
