Les Miserables - The Waltz Of Treachery lyrics

Valjean (to Cosette): Hush now, do not be afraid of me Don't cry, show me where you live Tell me my child, what is your name? Cosette: I'm called Cosette Valjean (to Thenardiers): I found her wandering in the woods, This little child. I found her trembling in the shadows Now I am here to take Cosette I will settle any debt you may think proper I will pay... What I must pay To take Cosette away. There is a duty i must heed, There is a promise i have made. For I was blind to one in need, I did not see what stood before me. Now her mother is with God. Fantine's suffering is over. And I speak here in her voice, And I stand here in her place. And from this day, forever more... Mme. Thenardier: May I take your coat M'sieur? Valjean: Cosette will live in my protection Thenardier: You are very welcome here Valjean: And I shall not forsake my vow Thenardiers: Take a gla**, take a chair Valjean: Cosette will have a father now Thenardier: What to do? What to say? Shall you carry our treasure away? What a gem! What a pearl! Beyond rubies is our little girl! How can we speak of debt? Let's not haggle for darling Colette! Mme Thenardier: Cosette!! Thenardier: Cosette... Dear Fantine, gone to rest Have we done for her child what is best? Shared our bread, shared each bone Treated her like she's one of our own! Like our own, Monsieur! Valjean: Your feelings do you credit, sir And I will ease the parting blow [He pays them.] Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed Now, may I say, we are agreed? Mme. Thenardier: That would quite fit the bill If she hadn't so often been ill Little dear, cost us dear Medicines are expensive, M'sieur Not that we begrudged a sou It's no more than we Christians must do! Thenardiers: One thing more, one small doubt There are treacherous people about No offense, please reflect Your intentions may not be... correct? Valjean: No more words, here's your price. Fifteen hundred for your "sacrifice" Come, Cosette, say goodbye, Let us seek out some friendlier sky. Thank you both for Cosette It won't take you too long to forget. [Valjean and Cosette leave the inn.] Come, Cosette, come, my dear From now on I will always be here Where I go, you will be. Cosette: Will there be children And castles to see? Valjean: Yes, Cosette, Yes, it's true There's a castle just waiting for you...
