Cosette it's turned so cold Cosette it's past your bed time You've played the day away And soon it will be night Come to me Cosette, the light is fading Don't you see the evening star appearing? Come to me and rest against me shoulder How fast the minutes fly away And every minute colder Hurry near another day is dying Don't you hear the winter wind is crying There's a darkness which comes without a warning But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning Dear Fantine, our time is running out But Fantine I swear this on my life Look monsieur where all the children play Be at peace Be at peace evermore My Cosette Shall live in my protection Take her now Your child will want for nothing Good monsieur, you come from God in heaven And none shall ever harm Cosette as long as I am living Take my hand, the night grows ever colder Then I will keep you warm Take my child, I give her to your keeping Take shelter from the storm For God's sake, please stay 'til I am sleeping And tell Cosette I love her And I'll see her when I wake
