(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 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      (Valjean leaves the garden. Marius and Eponine arrive 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      A Heart Full of Love      (Marius goes into the garden, leaving Eponine outside the gate)      MARIUS   A heart full of love   A heart full of song   I'm doing everything all wrong   Oh God, for shame   I do not even know your name   Dear Mad'moiselle   Won't you say?   Will you tell?      COSETTE   A heart full of love   No fear, no regret      M,ARIUS   My name is Marius Pontmercy      COSETTE   And mine's Cosette      MARIUS   Cosette, I don't know what to say      COSETTE   Then make no sound      MARIUS   I am lost      COSETTE   I am found!      MARIUS   A heart full of light      COSETTE   A night bright as day      MARIUS   And you must never go away   Cosette, Cosette      COSETTE   This is a chain we'll never break      MARIUS   Do I dream?      COSETTE   I'm awake!      MARIUS   A heart full of love      COSETTE   A heart full of you      MARIUS   A single look and then I knew      COSETTE   I knew it too      MARIUS   From today      COSETTE   Every day      COSETTE & MARIUS   For it isn't a dream   Not a dream after all.      EPONINE(Interjecting)   He was never mine to lose   Why regret what cannot be?   These are words he'll never say   Not to me...   Not to me...   Not to me...      His heart full of love   He will never feel this way...      (Marius and Cosette move away as Montparnasse enters furtively)
