VALJEAN 
Alone I wait in the shadows 
I count the hours till I can sleep 
I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by 
It made her weep to know I die. 
Alone at the end of the day 
Upon this wedding night I pray 
Take these children, my Lord, to thy embrace 
And show them grace. 

God on high 
Hear my prayer 
Take me now 
To thy care 
Where You are 
Let me be 
Take me now 
Take me there 
Bring me home 
Bring me home. 

FANTINE 
M'sieur, I bless your name 

VALJEAN 
I am ready, Fantine 

FANTINE 
M'sieur, lay down your burden 

VALJEAN 
At the end of my days 

FANTINE 
You raised my child in love 

VALJEAN 
She's the best of my life. 

FANTINE 
And you will be with god. 

COSETTE 
Papa, Papa, I do not understand! 
Are you alright? They said you'd gone away. 

VALJEAN 
Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now? 
Thank God, thank God, I've lived to see this day. 

MARIUS 
It's you who must forgive a thoughtless fool 
It's you who must forgive a thankless man 
It's thanks to you that I am living 
And again I lay down my life at your feet. 

Cosette, your father is a saint. 
When they wounded me 
He took me from the barricade 
Carried like a babe 
And brought me home to you! 

VALJEAN 
Now you are here 
Again beside me 
Now I can die in peace 
For now my life is blessed... 

COSETTE 
You will live, Papa, you're going to live 
It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye! 

VALJEAN 
Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die 
I'll obey, 
I will try. 
On this page 
I write my last confession. 
Read it well 
When I at last am sleeping. 
It's the story 
Of those who always loved you. 
Your mother gave her life for you 
Then gave you to my keeping. 

(Valjean dies) 

FANTINE [bad word] with me 
Where chains will never bind you 
All your grief 
At last, at last behind you. 
Lord in Heaven, 
Look down on him in mercy. 

VALJEAN 
Forgive me all my trespasses 
And take me to your glory. 

FANTINE & EPONINE 
Take my hand 
And lead me to salvation. 
Take my love, 
For love is everlasting. 

VALJEAN, FANTINE & EPONINE 
And remember 
The [bad word] that once was spoken 
To love another person 
Is to see the face of God!
