In my life/ A heart full of love

In my life I do not even know your name

She has burst like the music of angels Dear Mademoiselle
The light of the sun Won't you say?
And my life seems to stop Will you tell?
As if something is over
And something has scarcely begun. A heart full of love
Eponine No fear, no regret
You're the friend who has brought me here My name is Marius Pontmercy
Thanks to you I am at one with the Gods And mine's Cosette
And Heaven is near! Cosette, I don't know what to say
And I soar through a world that is new that is Then make no sound
free I am lost
I am found!
Every word that he says is a dagger in me!
In my life A heart full of love
There's been no one like him anywhere (He was never mine to lose)
Anywhere, where he is A heart full of you
If he asked (Why regret what cannot be?)
I'd be his A single look and then I knew
I knew it too
In my life (These are words he'll never say, not to me)
There is someone who touches my life From today
(Not to me, no)
Waiting near
Waiting here Every day
(His heart full of love)
A heart full of love For it isn't a dream
A heart full of song Not a dream after all
I'm doing everything all wrong (He will never feel this way)
Oh God, for shame
The attack

Eponine
'Parnasse, what are you doing [He notices Eponine but
So far out of our patch?
doesn't recognize her.]
Montparnasse
Brujon
This house, we're going to do it
What have we here?
Rich man, plenty of scratch
You remember he's the one
Thenardier
Who got away the other day
Who is this hussy?
Got a number on his chest
Perhaps a fortune put away!
Babet
It's your brat Eponine
Eponine
Don't you know your own kid
Oh Lord, somebody help me!
Why's she hanging about you?
Dear God, what'll I do?
He'll think this is an ambush
Thenardier
He'll think I'm in it too!
'Ponine, get on home
You're not needed in this
What'll I do, what'll I say?
We're enough here without you
I've got to warn them here
I've got to find a way.
Eponine
I know this house
[Thenardier arrives with
I tell you there's nothing here for you
the rest of his gang.] Just the old man and the girl
They live ordinary lives
Thenardier
This is his lair Thenardier
I've seen the old fox around Don't interfere
He keeps himself to himself You've got some gall
He's staying close to the ground Take care, young miss,
I smell profit here! You've got a lot to say!

Ten years ago Brujon

He came and paid for Cosette She's going soft
I let her go for a song
It's time we settled the debt Claquesous
This'll cost him dear Happens to all

Brujon Montparnasse
What do I care Go home, 'Ponine,
Who you should rob Go home, you're in the way
Give me my share
Finish the job! Eponine
I'm gonna scream,
Thenardier
I'm gonna warn them here.
You shut your mouth
Give me your hand
Thenardier
One little scream and
you'll regret it for a year.

Claquesous
What a palaver
What an absolute treat Valjean
To watch a cat and it's father Cosette, my child, what will become of you?
Pick a bone in the street
Cosette
Brujon Three men I saw beyond the wall
Not a sound out of you! Three men in shadow moving fast

Eponine Valjean
Well I told you I'd do it, told you I'd do it... This is a warning to us all
These are the shadows of the past
[She screams.] Must be Javert!
He's found my cover at last!
Thenardier I've got to get Cosette away
You wait my girl, Before they return!
you'll rue this night We must get away from shadows
I'll make you scream, They will never let us be
you'll scream all right Tomorrow to Calais
Leave her to me, Then a ship across the sea!
don't wait around Hurry, Cosette, prepare
Make for the sewers, to leave and say no more
go underground! Tomorrow we'll away!
Hurry, Cosette, it's time
[The gang scatters.] to close another door
And live another day!
Marius
It was your cry sent them away
Once more 'Ponine saving the day
Dearest Cosette, my friend 'Ponine
Brought me to you, showed me the way!

Someone is near
Let's not be seen
Somebody's here...

[Marius leaves quickly

as Valjean enters.]

Valjean
My God, Cosette
I heard a cry in the dark
I heard the shout of
angry voices in the street.

Cosette
That was my cry you heard, Papa.
I was afraid of what they'd do.
They ran away when they heard my cry
