Love Montage: I Saw Him Once/in My Life/a Heart Full Of Love Lyrics - The Original 1985 London Cast Recording - Les Miserables

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 saw? 

Does he feel what I feel? 

In my life 

I'm no longer alone 

Now the 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 

Of the 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's lost in the 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... 

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 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 AND EPONINE: 

In my life... 

There is someone who touches my life. 

MARIUS: 

Waiting near... 

EPONINE: 

Waiting here... 

MARIUS: 

A heart full of love. 

A heart full of song. 

Im doing everything all wrong. 

Oh God, for shame, I do not even know your name. 

Dear mademoiselle, 

Won't you say? 

Will you tell? 

COSETTE: 

A heart full of love. 

No fear... No regret! 

MARIUS: 

My name is Marius Pontmercy 

COSETTE: 

And mine's Cosette! 

MARIUS: 

Cosette! 

... I don't know what to say. 

COSETTE: 

Then make no sound 

MARIUS: 

I am lost... 

COSETTE: 

I am found... 

MARIUS: 

A heart full of light 

MARIUS AND COSETTE: 

A night bright as day! 

MARIUS: 

And you must never go away... 

Cosette, Cosette! 

COSETTE: 

This is a chain we'll never break. 

MARIUS: 

Do I dream? 

COSETTE: 

I'm awake... 

MARIUS: 

A hear full of love... 

EPONINE: [Interjecting] 

He was never mine to lose... 

MARIUS AND COSETTE: 

A heart full of you 

EPONINE: MARIUS: 

Why regret what could not be? A single look and then I knew... 

COSETTE: 

I knew it too! 

EPONINE: 

These are words he'll never say... 

Not to me... 

MARIUS: 

From today... 

EPONINE: 

Not to me... 

Not for me... 

COSETTE: 

Everyday... 

EPONINE: MARIUS AND COSETTE: 

His heart full of love... For it isn't a dream... 

He will never feel this way! Not a dream after all!
