[Cosette helps Marius to recover from his injuries.]
Cosette:
Every day you walk with stronger step.
You walk with longer step.
The worst is over.
Marius:
Every day,
I wonder every day
Who was it brought me here
From the barricade.
Cosette:
Don't think about it, Marius.
With all the years ahead of us,
I will never go away,
And we will be together every day.
Every day,
We'll remember that night
And the vow that we made:
A heart full of love.
A night full of you.
The words are old
But always true.
Oh, God, for shame,
You did not even know my name.
Marius:
Dear Mademoiselle
I was lost in your spell.
[Valjean appears, but Marius and Cosette do not see him.]
Cosette: [in counterpoint]
A heart full of love
No fear no regret
"My name is Marius Pontmercy."
Valjean: [To himself, in counterpoint]
She was never mine to keep
She is youthful
She is free.
Marius:
Cosette, Cosette!
Cosette: [in counterpoint]
I saw you waiting and I knew.
Valjean: [in counterpoint]
Love is the garden of the young.
Marius:
Waiting for you.
Valjean:
Let it be.
Marius:
At your feet.
Valjean:
Let it be.
Cosette:
At your call.
[They see Valjean.]
Marius and Cosette: [in counterpoint]
And it wasn't a dream.
Not a dream
After all.
Valjean: [in counterpoint]
A heart full of love
This I give you
On this day.
