Genius Users - A Little Fall of Rain lyrics

[JOLY (spoken)] There's a boy climbing the barricade! [A shot rings out. Éponine climbs over the barricade.] [MARIUS] Good God! What are you doing? 'Ponine, have you no fear? Have you seen my beloved? Why have you come back here? [EPONINE] Took the letter like you said I met her father at the door He said he would give it I don't think I can stand anymore [She collapses.] [MARIUS] Éponine, what's wrong? I feel there's something wet upon your hair [He opens her coat and sees that she has been shot.] Éponine, you're hurt! You need some help Oh, God! It's everywhere! [EPONINE] Don't you fret, M'sieur 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 [MARIUS] Hush-a-bye, dear Éponine You won't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt you now [EPONINE] So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius I don't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me now [MARIUS] I'm here [EPOININE] That's all I need to know [EPONINE] And you will keep me safe And you will keep me close And rain... Will make the flowers... [MARIUS] I'll stay with you 'Till you are sleeping And rain Will make the flowers [Éponine dies.] [MARIUS (alone)] Grow [Marius pulls Éponine closer, crying as he holds her tightly.]
