Lyrics

I found her wandering in the wood with little child I found her trembling in the shadows And I am here help Cosette I will settle any debt you may think proper I will pay, what I must pay to take Cosette away 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 Cosette Dear Fantine gone to rest Have we done to your child what is best? Shared that bread, shared each bone Treated her like she's one of our own Like our own Monsieur Your feelings, do not credit sir? And I will ease the parting blow Let us not talk of bargains or bones or greed Now may I say we are agreed That would quite fit the bill If she hadn't so often been ill Little tear, cost us dear Medicines are expensive Monsieur Not that we'd begrudged a Sou It's no more than we Christians must do One thing more, one small doubt There are treacherous people about No offence, please reflect Your intentions may not be correct No more words, here's your price Fifteen hundred for your sacrifice Come Cosette, say goodbye Let us seek out a friendlier sky Thank you both for Cosette It won't take you too long to forget
