LES MISERABLESCome to Me (Fantine's Death) Scene: Fantine & Valjean [FANTINE]Cosette, it's turned so coldCosette, it's past your bedtimeYou've played the day awayAnd soon it will be night.Come to me, Cosette, the light is fadingDon't you see the evening star appearing?Come to me, and rest against my shoulderHow fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder.Hurry near, another day is dyingDon't you hear, the winter wind is crying?There's a darkness which comes without a warningBut I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning.[VALJEAN]Oh, Fantine, our time is running outBut 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 CosetteAs long as I am living.[FANTINE]Take my hand. The night grows ever colder.[VALJEAN]Then 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 till I am sleepingAnd tell Cosette I love herAnd I'll see her when I wake...
