"Great Performances" Les Misérables in Concert (TV Episode 1995) - Ruthie Henshall as Fantine

Fantine : I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I'm living. So different now from what it seemed... Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.
[Fantine has become a prostitute to support her daughter Cosette]

Fantine : Come on Captain, you can wear your shoes! Don't it make a change to have a girl who can refuse? Easy money, lying on a bed... Just as well they never see the hate that's in your head! Don't they know they're making love to one already dead?
Fantine : Come with me, where chains will never bind you. All your grief at last, at last behind you. Lord in Heaven, look down on him in mercy.

Jean Valjean : Forgive me all my trespasses and take me to your glory.

Fantine , Eponine : Take my hand, I'll lead you to salvation. Take my love, for love is everlasting.

Fantine , Jean Valjean , Eponine : And remember, the truth that once was spoken: to love another person is to see the face of God.
Fantine : He slept a summer by my side, he filled my days with endless wonder. He took my childhood in his stride, but he was gone when autumn came! And still I dream he'll come to me - that we will live the years together. But there are dreams that cannot be, and there are storms we cannot weather.
Fantine , Eponine : Take my hand, I'll lead you to salvation. Take my love, for love is everlasting.

Fantine , Eponine , Jean Valjean : And remember, the truth that once was spoken: To love another person is to see the face of God.
