Lyrics Fantine's Death - Madalena Alberto & John Owen-Jones

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 hear?
The winter wind is crying
There's a darkness that comes without a warning
But I will sing you lullabies
And wake you in the morning

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

Look M'sieur, 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 M'sieur, 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

And 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 'til I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her
And I'll see her when I wake...
