In My Life Lyrics - Les Miserables (1987 Original Broadway Cast) - Alain Boublil

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...
