| EPONINE | 
| Don’t you fret, Monsieur Marius, | 
| I don’t feel any pain. | 
| A little fall of rain | 
| Can hardly hurt me now. | 
| You’re here, that’s all I need to know. | 
| And you will keep me safe, | 
| And you will keep me close, | 
| And rain will make the flowers grow. | 
| MARIUS | 
| But you will live, 'Ponine, | 
| Dear God above! | 
| If I could heal your wounds with words of love! | 
| EPONINE | 
| Just hold me now, and let it be, | 
| Shelter me, | 
| Comfort me… | 
| MARIUS | 
| You would live a hundred years | 
| If I could show you how. | 
| I won’t desert you now. | 
| EPONINE | 
| The rain can’t hurt me now. | 
| This rain will wash away what’s past! | 
| And you will keep me safe, | 
| And you will keep me close, | 
| I’ll sleep in your embrace at last! | 
| The rain that brings you here is heaven-blessed! | 
| The skies begin to clear and I’m at rest. | 
| A breath away from where you are, | 
| I’ve come home from so far… | 
| EPONINE | 
| So don’t you fret, Monsieur Marius, | 
| I don’t feel any pain. | 
| A little fall of rain | 
| Can hardly hurt me now. | 
| MARIUS (singing in counterpoint to Eponine) | 
| Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine, | 
| You won’t feel any pain. | 
| A little fall of rain | 
| Can hardly hurt you now. | 
| MARIUS | 
| I’m here, | 
| EPONINE | 
| That’s all I need to know. | 
| EPONINE | 
| And you will keep me safe, | 
| And you will keep me close, | 
| MARIUS (in counterpoint) | 
| I will stay with you, | 
| 'Til you are sleeping… | 
| EPONINE | 
| And rain, | 
| MARIUS | 
| And rain, | 
| EPONINE | 
| Will make the flowers… | 
| MARIUS | 
| Will make the flowers… grow. |
