(Time has passed. Suggest Marius convalescing, encouraged by Cosette who takes his arm as he walks with firmer step) 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 SongtexteThe 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' MARIUS Cosette, Cosette! COSETTE I saw you waiting and I knew. MARIUS Waiting for you At your feet COSETTE At your call BOTH And it wasn't a dream Not a dream after all VALJEAN(interjecting, to himself) She was never mine to keep. She is youthful, she is free. Love is the garden of the young Let it be... let it be... 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 we will prove our love To you, whom we shall call A father to us both A father to us all.
