Lyrics Valjean’s Confession - Hugh Jackman feat Eddie Redmayne

Monsieur, this is a day
I never can forget
Is gratitude enough
For giving me Cosette?
Your home shall be with us
And not a day shall pass
But we will prove our love
To you, whom we shall call
A father to us both
A father to us all

Not another word my son
There's something now that must be done.

There lived a man whose named Jean Valjean
He stole some bread to save his sister's son
For nineteen winters, served his time
In sweat, he washed away his crime

Years ago
He broke parole and lived a life apart
How could he tell Cosette and break her heart?
It's for Cosette that this must be faced
If he is caught she is disgraced
The time is come to journey on
And from this day he must be gone
Who am I?
Who am I?

You're Jean Valjean.

Monsieur, you cannot leave.
Whatever I tell my beloved Cosette
She will never believe!

Make her believe
I have gone on a journey
A long way away.
Tell her my heart was too full for farewells
It is better this way.
Promise me, M'sieur,
Cosette will never know what I have spoken, Why I must go.

For the sake of Cosette, it must be so.
