I found her wandering in the wood
This little child i found her trembling in the shadow
And im here to help Cozette
And i will settle debt you may think proper
I will pay what i must pay to take Cozette 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
Fontine's suffering is over
And i speak here with her voice
And i stand here in her place
And from this day and evermore
Cozette shall live in my protection (you are very welcome here)
I will not forsake my vow (take a chair)
Cozette will 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
Lets not haggle for darling Cozette
Dear Fontine gone to rest
Have we done for your child what is best
Shared our bread
Shared each pound
Treated her like shes one of their own
Like our own
Your feelings do you credit sir
And i will ease the parting blow
Let us not talk of bargains or bowls or greed
Now may i say we all agree
That would quite fit the bill
If she hadnt fell awfully ill
Little dear cost us dear
Medicines are expensive
Not that we begrudge it you
Its no more than we christians must do
One thing more one small doubt
There are treacherous people about
Now --- please reflect
Your intentions may not be correct
No more words
Here's your price
1500 for your sacrifice
Come Cozette say goodbye
Let us seek out a friendlier sky
Thank you both
For Cozette
It wont take you too long to forget
Come Cozette 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 Cozette
Yes its true
There's a castle just waiting for you
La, la, li, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, li, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, li, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, li, la, la, la, la, la
