Miserables, Les (Related Recordings) - The Epilogue lyrics

Valjean:

Now you are here

Again beside me

Now I can die in peace

For now my life is best

Cosette:

You will live,

Papa you're going to live!

It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye

Valjean:

Yes Cosette, forbid me now to die

I'll obey, I will try

On this page, I write my last confession

Read it well, for I at last am sleeping

It's a story of those who always loved you

Your mother gave her life for you

then gave you to my keeping

Fantine:

Come with me

Where chains will never bind you

All your grief at last at last behind you

Lord in heaven, look down on him in mercy!

Valjean:

Forgive me all my trustpasses

and take me to your glory

Eponine & Fantine:

Take my hand, and lead me to salvation

Take my love, for love is everlasting

And remember the truth that once was spoken

(Valjean joins)

To love another person is to see the face of God!

Chrous:

Do you hear the people sing?

Lost in te valley of the night

It is the music of a people who are climbing to the light

For the wretched of the earth there is a flame that never dies

Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.

They will live again in freedom in the garden of the Lord

They will walk behind the ploughshed, the will put away the sword.

The chain will be broken and all men will have their reward!

Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me?

Somewhere beyond the baricade is there a world you long to see?

Do you hear the people sing? Say do you hear the distant drums

It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes

Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me?

Somewhere beyond the baricade is there a world you long to see?

Do you hear the people sing? Say do you hear the distant drums?

It is the future that they bring when tomorrow comes!

(singing chords)

Tomorrow comes!!!
