I found her wandering in the wood
This little child, I found her trembling in the shadows
And I am here to help Cosette

And I will settle any debt you may think proper

I will pay what I must pay

To take Cosette away.

There is a duty I must heed,

There is a promise I have made
For I was blind to one in need

I did not see what stood before me

Now her mother is with God

Fantine's suffering is over

And I speak here with her voice

And I stand here in her place

And from this day and evermore
Let me have your coat, M'sieur
Cosette shall live in my protection
You are very welcome here
I will not forsake my vow
Take a glass
Take a chair
Cosette shall have a father now!

What to do? What to say?
Shall you carry our treasure away?
What a gem! What a pearl!
Beyond rubies is our little girl!
How can we speak of debt?
Let's not haggle for darling Cosette!
Dear Fantine, gone to rest
Have we done for her child what is best?
Shared our bread, shared each bone
Treated her like she's one of our own!
Like our own, Monsieur!
Your feelings do you credit, sir
And I will ease the parting blow
Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed
Now, may I say, we are agreed?

That would quite fit the bill
If she hadn't so often been ill
Little dear, cost us dear
Medicines are expensive, M'sieur
Not that we begrudged a sou
It's no more than we Christians must do!

One thing more, one small doubt
There are treacherous people about
No offense, please reflect
Your intentions may not be... correct?

No more words, here's your price.
Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice
Come, Cosette, say goodbye,
Let us seek out to friendlier sky.
Thank you both for Cosette
It won't take you too long to forget.

Come, Cosette, come, my dear
From now on I will always be here
Where I go, you will be.
Will there be castles and children to see?
Yes, Cosette,
Yes, it's true
There's a castle just waiting for you...
