In My Life / a Heart Full of Love Songtext

von Claude-Michel Schönberg

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 somehow seem wrong
In my life
There are times when I catch in the silence

The sigh of a faraway 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?

Does he see what I see?
Does he feel what I feel?

In my life
I'm no longer alone
Now that love in my life
Is so near
Find me now, find me here!

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.

There's so little I know
That I'm longing to know
Of the man that you were
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
Please forgive what I say,
You are loving and gentle and good.
But Papa, dear Papa,
In your eyes I am still like the child
Who is lost in a wood

No more words
No more words, it's a time that is dead
There are words
That are better unheard, better unsaid.

In my life
I'm no longer a child and I yearn
For the truth that you know
Of the years... years ago!
You will learn
Truth is given by God
To us all
In our time
In our turn

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 who has brought me here
Thanks to you I am at one with the gods
And Heaven is near!
And I soar through a world that is new that is free
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
In my life

There is someone who touches my life
Waiting near
Waiting here
A heart full of love
A heart full of song

I'm doing everything all wrong
Oh God, for shame
I do not even know your name

Dear Madamoiselle
Won't you say?
Will you tell?
A heart full of love
No fear, no regret

My name is Marius Pontmercy
And mine's Cosette
Cosette, I don't know what to say
Then make no sound
I am lost
I am found!
A heart full of love
(He was never mine to lose)
A heart full of you
(Why regret what cannot be?)
A single look and then I knew
I knew it too
(These are words he'll never say, not to me)
From today
(Not to me, no)
Every day
(His heart full of love)
For it isn't a dream
Not a dream after all
(He will never feel this way)
