Judy Kuhn: Cosette

Quotes 

• Cosette : A heart full of love... A night full of you - the words are old, but always true! O God, for shame, you did not even know my name.

  Marius : Dear Mademoiselle, I was lost in your spell...

• Cosette : In my life there are so many questions and answers that somehow seem wrong. In my life there are times when I catch in the silence the sigh of a faraway song, and it sings of a world that I long to see, out of reach, just a whisper away, waiting for me.

• Jean Valjean : One day more. Another day, another destiny, this never-ending road to Calvary. These men who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time. One day more.

  Marius : I did not live until today. How can I live when we are parted?

  Jean Valjean : One day more.

  Marius , Cosette : Tomorrow, you'll be worlds away, and yet with you, my world has started.

  Eponine : One more day all on my own.

  Marius , Cosette : Will we ever meet again?

  Eponine : One more day of him not caring.

  Marius , Cosette : I was born to be with you.

  Eponine : What a life I might have known.

  Marius , Cosette : And I swear, I will be true.

  Eponine : But he never saw me there.

  Enjolras : One more day before the storm.

  Marius : Do I follow where she goes?

  Enjolras : At the barricade of freedom.

  Marius : Do I join my brothers there?

  Enjolras : As our ranks begin to form.

  Marius : Do I stay, and do I care?

  Enjolras : Will you take your place with me?

  [Chorus joins in] 

  Enjolras : The time is now, the day is here!

  Jean Valjean : One day more!

  Javert : One more day to revolution. We will nip it in the bud. I will join these little schoolboys. They will wet themselves with blood!

  Jean Valjean : One day more!

  Thenardier , Madame Thenardier : Watch 'em run amok. Catch 'em as they fall. Never know your luck when there's a free-for-all. Here, a little dip. There, a little touch. Most of 'em are goners, so they won't miss much!

  [Chorus joins in] 

  Thenardier , Madame Thenardier : One day to a new beginning, raise the flag of freedom high. Every man will be a king, every man will be a king. There's a new world for the winning, there's a new world to be won. Do you hear the people sing?

  Marius : My place is here. I'll fight with you!

  Jean Valjean : One day more!

  [everyone sings their previous verses simultaneously] 

  Jean Valjean : One day more!

  [Verses continue] 

  Jean Valjean : Tomorrow, we'll be far away. Tomorrow is the judgment day.

  Ensemble : Tomorrow we'll discover what our God in Heaven has in store. One more dawn, one more day, one day more!
