A Little Fall Of Rain Lyrics

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 close 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 [in counterpoint]
     So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius       Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine
     I don't feel any pain                   You won't feel any pain
     A little fall of rain                   A little fall of rain
     Can hardly hurt me now                  Can hardly hurt you now
                                             I'm here
     That's all I need to know
     And you will keep me safe               I will stay with you
     And you will keep me close              Till you are sleeping
     And rain                                And rain
     Will make the flowers...                Will make the flowers...
                                             Grow.

     [She dies.  Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground.]

Enjolras
     She is the first to fall
     The first of us to fall upon this barricade

Marius
     Her name was Eponine
     Her life was cold and dark, yet she was unafraid.

Combeferre
     We fight here in her name

Prouvaire
     She will not die in vain.

Lesgles
     She will not be betrayed.

     [They carry her body off.]
