In My Life [(New York/Original Broadway Cast Version/1987)]

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 a silence, a sigh of a far away 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?
Did he see what I saw, does he feel what I feel?

In my life, I'm no longer alone of a love in my life is so near
Find me now
Find me here

Dear Cosette, your such a lonely child
How pensive, how sad you seem to me
Believe me, if it were in 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 child that I was 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, I have all that I want, you are loving and gentle and good
But Papa, dear papa, in your eyes I'm just like a child who lost in our wood

No more words
No more words
It is time that he's 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 time

In my life, she has burst like the music of angels
A light of the sun
And my life, seems to stop, as if something is sober
And something is scarcely begun
Eponine, you are the friend who has brought me here
Thanks to you, I am one with the gods and heaven is near
And I soar through a world that is new that is free

Every world that he says is a dagger in me
In my life, there is 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
