Fantine's Death Lyrics - Les Miserables Live - Les Miserables

Fantine: 

Cosette, it's turned so cold 

Cosette, it's past your bedtime 

You've played the day away 

And soon it will be night. 

Come to me, Cosette, the light is fading 

Don't you see the evening star appearing? 

Come to me, and rest against my shoulder 

How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder. 

Hurry near, another day is dying 

Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying? 

There's a darkness which comes without a warning 

But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning. 

[Valjean enters.] 

Valjean: 

Oh, Fantine, our time is running out 

But Fantine, I swear this on my life 

Fantine: 

Look, M'sieur, where all the children play 

Valjean: 

Be at peace, be at peace evermore. 

Fantine: 

My Cosette... 

Valjean: 

Shall live in my protection 

Fantine: 

take her now 

Valjean: 

Your child will want for nothing 

Fantine: 

Good M'sieur, you come from God in Heaven. 

Valjean: 

And none will ever harm Cosette 

As long as I am living. 

Fantine: 

Take my hand, 

The night grows ever colder. 

Valjean: 

Then I will keep you warm. 

Fantine: 

Take my child, I give her to your keeping. 

Valjean: 

Take shelter from the storm 

Fantine: 

For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping 

And tell Cosette I love her 

And I'll see her when I wake (she dies)
