Every Day (Marius and Cosette) Songtext

von Claude-Michel Schönberg

(Cosette arrives to help Marius in his recovery.)

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' Valjean (to himself)

She was never mine to keep
She is youthful
She is free.

Marius
Cosette, Cosette!

Cosette
I saw you waiting and I knew.
Love is the garden of the young

Marius
Waiting for you
At your feet Let it be

Cosette
At your call
Let it be

Marius & Cosette
At your call
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 will will prove our love
To you, whom we shall call
A father to us both
A father to us all.

(Cosette leaves.)
