Karaoké Valjean's Confession Les Misérables (musical)

Monsieur, this is a day

I never can forget

Is gratitude enough for giving me Cosette

Your home shall be with us and not a day shall pass

But we will prove our love to you, whom we shall call

A father to us both a father to us all

Not another word my son

There's something now that must be done

You've spoken from the heart and I must do the same

There is a story, sir of slavery and shame that you alone must know

I never told Cosette she had enough of tears

She's never known the truth

The story you must hear of years ago

There lived a man whose named was Jean Valjean

He stole some bread to save his sister's son

For nineteen winters served his time

In sweat he washed away his crime

Years ago he broke parole and lived a life apart

How could he tell Cosette and break her heart

It's for Cosette that this must be faced

If he is caught she is disgraced

The time is come to journey on and from this day he must be gone

Who am I

Who am I

You're Jean Valjean

What can I do that will turn you from this

Monsieur, you cannot leave

Whatever I tell my beloved Cosette she will never believe

Make her believe I've gone on a journey a long way away

Tell her my heart was too full for farewells

It is better this way

Promise me, Monsieur

Cosette will never know

I give my word

For the sake of Cosette

What I have spoken why I must go it must be so
