In My Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
[Cosette]
How strange
This feeling that my life's begun at last
This change
Can people really fall in love so fast?
What's the matter with you, Cosette?
Have you been too much on your own?
So many things unclear
So many things unknown
In my life
There are so many questions and answers that sometimes seem wrong
In my life
There are times when I catch in the silence the sigh of a far away song
And it sings of a world that I long to see
Out of reach, just a whisper away, waiting for me
Does he know I'm alive, do I know if he's real?
Did he see what I saw, does he feel what I feel?
In my life, I'm no longer alone now the love in my life is so near
Find me now, find me here
[Valjean]
Dear Cosette, you're such a lonely child
How pensive, how sad you seem to me
Believe me, were it within my power
I'd fill each passing hour
How quiet it must be, I can see
With only me for company
[Cosette]
There's so little I know that I'm longing to know
Of the child that I was in a time long ago
There's so little you say of the life you have known
Why you keep to yourself, why we're always alone
So dark, so dark and deep
The secrets that you keep
In my life
I have all that I want, you are loving and gentle and good
But papa, dear papa, in your eyes I am just like a child who is lost in a wood
[Valjean]
No more words
No more words, it's a time that is dead
There are words
That are better unheard, better unsaid
[Cosette]
In my life
I'm no longer a child and I yearn for the truth that you know
Of the years, years ago
[Valjean]
You will learn
Truth is given by God to us all
In our time
In our turn
[Marius]
In my life
She has burst like the music of angels, the light of the Sun
And my life
Seems to stop as if something is over, and something has scarcely begun
Eponine, you're the friend that has brought me here
Thanks to you
I am one with the gods, and heaven is near
And I soar through a world that is new, that is free
[Eponine]
Every word that he says is a dagger in me
In my life
There's been no-one like him anywhere, anywhere
Where he is
If he asked, I'd be his
[Marius e Eponine]
In my life, there is someone who touches my life
[Marius]
Waiting near
[Eponine]
Waiting here
