A Little Fall Of Rain Lyrics - Les Miserables (1987 Original Broadway Cast) - Alain Boublil

Eponine 

Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius 

I don't feel any pain 

A little fall of rain 

Can hardly hurt me now 

You're here, that's all I need to know 

And you will keep me safe 

And you will keep me close 

And rain will make the flowers grow. 

Marius 

But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above... 

If I could heal your wounds with words of love... 

Eponine 

Just hold me now, and let it be. 

Shelter me, comfort me... 

Marius 

You would live 

A hundred years 

If I could show you how 

I won't desert you now... 

Eponine 

The rain can't hurt me now 

This rain will wash away what's past 

And you will keep me safe 

And you will keep me close 

I'll sleep in your embrace at last 

The rain that brings you here 

Is Heaven-blessed! 

The skies begin to clear 

And I'm at rest 

A breath away from where you are 

I've come home from so far Marius (in counterpoint) 

So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius 

I don't feel any pain 

A little fall of rain 

Can hardly hurt me now 

Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine 

You won't feel any pain 

A little fall of rain 

Can hardly hurt you now 

I'm here 

That's all I need to know 

And you will keep me safe 

And you will keep me close 

And rain 

Will make the flowers... I will stay with you 

Till you are sleeping 

And rain 

Will make the flowers... 

Grow. 

Eponine 

The rain can't hurt me now 

This rain will wash away what's past 

And you will keep me safe 

And you will keep me close 

I'll sleep in your embrace at last 

The rain that brings you here 

Is Heaven-blessed! 

The skies begin to clear 

And I'm at rest 

A breath away from where you are 

I've come home from so far Marius (in counterpoint) 

So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine 

I don't feel any pain You won't feel any pain 

A little fall of rain A little fall of rain 

Can hardly hurt me now Can hardly hurt you now 

I'm here 

That's all I need to know 

And you will keep me safe I will stay with you 

And you will keep me close Till you are sleeping 

And rain And rain 

Will make the flowers... Will make the flowers... 

Grow. 

(She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground.) 

Enjolras 

She is the first to fall 

The first of us to fall upon this barricade 

Marius 

Her name was Eponine 

Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid. 

Combeferre 

We fight here in her name 

Prouvaire 

She will not die in vain. 

Lesgles 

She will not be betrayed. 

(They carry her body off.)
