Album: Les Miserables

A Heart Full Of Love [Cosette, Marius E]

(Time has passed. Suggest Marius convalescing, encouraged by Cosette who takes his arm as he walks with firmer step)

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 Mad'moiselle

I was lost in your spell.

(Valjean enters, unnoticed)

COSETTE

A heart full of love

No fear no regret

`My name is Marius Pontmercy'

MARIUS

Cosette, Cosette!

COSETTE

I saw you waiting and I knew.

MARIUS

Waiting for you

At your feet

COSETTE

At your call

BOTH

And it wasn't a dream

Not a dream after all

VALJEAN(interjecting, to himself)

She was never mine to keep.

She is youthful, she is free.

Love is the garden of the young

Let it be... let it be...

A heart full of love

This I give you on this day.

(They notice Valjean)

MARIUS

M'sieur, this is a day

I can never forget.

Is gratitude enough

For giving me Cosette?

Your home shall be with us

And not a day shall pass

But we will prove our love

To you, whom we shall call

A father to us both

A father to us all.

(Cosette leaves)
