In My Life Lyrics - Les Miserables Live - Les Miserables

[Cosette stands in her garden on Rue Plumet.] 

Cosette: 

How strange, this feeling that my life's begun at last 

This change, can people really fall in love so fast? 

What's the matter with you, Cosette? 

Have you been too much on your own? 

So many things unclear 

So many things unknown. 

In my life 

There are so many questions and answers 

That somehow seem wrong 

In my life 

There are times when I catch in the silence 

The sigh of a faraway song 

And it sings 

Of a world that I long to see 

Out of reach 

Just a whisper away 

Waiting for me! 

Does he know I'm alive? 

Do I know if he's real? 

Does he see what I see? 

Does he feel what I feel? 

In my life 

I'm no longer alone 

Now that love in my life 

Is so near 

Find me now, find me here! 

Valjean: 

Dear Cosette, 

You're such a lonely child 

How pensive, how sad you seem to me 

Believe me, were it within my power 

I'd fill each passing hour 

How quiet it must be, I can see 

With only me for company. 

Cosette: 

There's so little I know 

That I'm longing to know 

Of the man that you were 

In a time long ago 

There's so little you say 

Of the life you have known 

Why you keep to yourself 

Why we're always alone 

So dark, so dark and deep 

The secrets that you keep! 

In my life 

Please forgive what I say, 

You are loving and gentle and good. 

But Papa, dear Papa, 

In your eyes I am still like the child 

Who is lost in a wood 

Valjean: 

No more words 

No more words, it's a time that is dead 

There are words 

That are better unheard, better unsaid. 

Cosette: 

In my life 

I'm no longer a child and I yearn 

For the truth that you know 

Of the years... years ago! 

Valjean: 

You will learn 

Truth is given by God 

To us all 

In our time 

In our turn 

[Valjean leaves the garden; Marius and Eponine are outside.] 

Marius: 

In my life 

She has burst like the music of angels 

The light of the sun 

And my life seems to stop 

As if something is over 

And something has scarcely begun. 

Eponine, you're the friend who has brought me here. 

Thanks to you I am at one with the Gods and Heaven is near! 

And I soar through a world that is new that is free... 

Eponine [to herself] 

Every word that he says is a dagger in me! 

In my life 

There's been no-one like him anywhere. 

Anywhere, where he is... 

If he asked... I'd be his. 

Marius & Eponine: 

In my life 

There is someone who touches my life 

Marius: 

Waiting near 

Eponine: 

Waiting here
