Marius:
But you will live, 'Ponine - dear God above,
If I could heal your wounds with words of love.
Eponine:
Just hold me now, and let it be.
Shelter me, comfort me
Marius:
You would live a hundred years
If I could show you how
I won't desert you now. . .
Eponine:
The rain can't hurt me now
This rain will wash away what's past
And you will keep me safe
And you will keep me close
I'll sleep in your embrace at last.
The rain that brings you here
Is Heaven-blessed!
The skies begin to clear
And I'm at rest
A breath away from where you are
I've come home from so far
| Eponine: So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius I don't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me now | Marius: (in counterpoint) Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine, You won't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt you now
|
| Marius: I'm here Eponine: That's all I need to know
| |
| Eponine: And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close | Marius: (in counterpoint) I will stay with you Till you are sleeping |
