Les Misérables Cast - Epilogue Lyrics

Alone I wait in the shadows
I count the hours 'til I can sleep
I dreamed a dream Cosette stood by
It made her weep to know I die
Alone at the end of the day
Upon this wedding night I pray
Take these children, my Lord, to thy embrace
And show them grace

God on high
Hear my prayer
Take me now
To thy care
Where you are
Let me be
Take me now
Take me there
Bring me home
Bring me home

M'sieur, I bless your name
M'sieur, lay down your burden
You raised my child in love
And you will be with god

I am ready, Fantine
At the end of my days
She's the best of my life

Papa, Papa, I do not understand!
Are you alright? They said you'd gone away

Cosette, my child, am I forgiven now?
Thank God, thank God, I've lived to see this day

It's you who must forgive a thoughtless fool
It's you who must forgive a thankless man
It's thanks to you that I am living
And again I lay down my life at your feet

Cosette, your father is a saint
When they wounded me
He took me from the barricade
Carried like a babe
And brought me home to you!

Now you are here
Again beside me
Now I can die in peace
For now my life is blessed

You will live, Papa, you're going to live
It's too soon, too soon to say goodbye!

Yes, Cosette, forbid me now to die
I'll obey,
I will try
On this page
I write my last confession
Read it well
When I at last am sleeping
It's the story
Of those who always loved you
Your mother gave her life for you
Then gave you to my keeping

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

Forgive me all my trespasses
And take me to your glory

Take my hand
And lead me to salvation
Take my love,
For love is everlasting

And remember
The truth that once was spoken
To love another person
Is to see the face of God!
