Lyrics Fantine's Death - Les Misérables - 10th Anniversary Concert Cast

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

Oh, Fantine, our time is running out
But, Fantine, I swear this on my life

Look, Monsieur, where all the children play
Be at peace, be at peace evermore
My Cosette
Shall live in my protection
Take her now
Your child will want for nothing
Good Monsieur, you come from God in Heaven
And none will ever harm Cosette
As long as I am living
Take my hand
The night grows ever colder
Then I will keep you warm
Take my child, I give her to your keeping
Take shelter from the storm
For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her
And I'll see her when I wake
