Fantine's Death: Come To Me Lyrics - The Original 1985 London Cast Recording - Les Miserables

FANTINE 

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 

VALJEAN 

Oh, Fantine, your time is running out 

But Fantine, I swear this on my life 

FANTINE 

Look M'sieur, where all the children play... 

VALJEAN 

Be at peace 

Be at peace, evermore 

FANTINE 

My Cosette... 

VALJEAN 

Shall live in my protection 

FANTINE 

Take her now... 

VALJEAN 

Your child will want for nothing 

FANTINE 

Good M'sieur, you come from God in Heaven 

VALJEAN 

And none will ever harm Cosette as long as I am living 

FANTINE 

Take my hand, the night grows ever colder 

VALJEAN 

And I will keep you warm. 

FANTINE 

Take my child, I give her to your keeping 

VALJEAN 

Take shelter from the storm. 

FANTINE 

For God's sake, please stay 'til I am sleeping 

And tell Cosette I love her 

And I'll see her when I wake...
