Lyrics[]

[Cosette helps Marius to recover from his injuries.]

Cosette:
Every day you walk with stronger step.
You walk with longer step.
The worst is over.

Marius:
Every day,
I wonder every day
Who was it brought me here
From the barricade.

Cosette:
Don't think about it, Marius.
With all the years ahead of us,
I will never go away,
And we will be together every day.

Every day,
We'll remember that night
And the vow that we made:

A heart full of love.
A night full of you.
The words are old
But always true.
Oh, God, for shame,
You did not even know my name.

Marius:
Dear Mademoiselle...
I was lost in your spell.

[Valjean appears, but Marius and Cosette do not see him.]

Cosette: [in counterpoint]
A heart full of love
No fear no regret
"My name is Marius Pontmercy."

Valjean: [To himself, in counterpoint]
She was never mine to keep
She is youthful
She is free.

Marius:
Cosette, Cosette!

Cosette: [in counterpoint]
I saw you waiting and I knew.

Valjean: [in counterpoint]
Love is the garden of the young.

Marius:
Waiting for you.

Valjean:
Let it be.

Marius:
At your feet.

Valjean:
Let it be.

Cosette:
At your call.

[They see Valjean.]

Marius and Cosette: [in counterpoint]
And it wasn't a dream.
Not a dream
After all.

Valjean: [in counterpoint]
A heart full of love
This I give you
On this day.
