� Cosette, it's turned so cold Cosette, it's past your bedtime 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 my 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 Oh 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 Goodness you, you come from God in heaven And none will 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 till I am sleeping And tell Cosette I love her and I'll see her when I wake © transcript Emily Beynon
