[Cosette arrives to help Marius in his recovery.]
Cosette
Every day
You walk with stronger step
You walk with longer step
The worst is over
Marius
Every day
I wonder every day
Who was it brought me here
From the barricade?
Cosette
Don't think about it, Marius.
With all the years ahead of us!
I will never go away
And we will be together
Every day. Every day,
We'll remember that night
And the vow that we made:
`A heart full of love
A night full of you'
The words are old
But always true
Oh, God, for shame
You did not even know my name.
Marius
Dear Mad'moiselle
I was lost in your spell.
[Valjean enters, unnoticed.]
Cosette Valjean (to himself)
A heart full of love She was never mine to keep
No fear no regret She is youthful
`My name is Marius Pontmercy' She is free.
Marius
Cosette, Cosette!
Cosette
I saw you waiting and I knew. Love is the garden of the young
Marius
Waiting for you
At your feet Let it be
Cosette
At your call Let it be
Both
And it wasn't a dream A heart full of love
Not a dream This I give you
After all On this day.
[They notice Valjean.]
Marius
M'sieur, this is a day
I can never forget
Is gratitude enough
For giving me Cosette?
Your home shall be with us
And not a day shall pass
But will will prove our love
To you, whom we shall call
A father to us both
A father to us all.
[Cosette leaves.]
