Alain Boublil - 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 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 (in counterpoint) So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius I don't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt me now Hush-a-bye, dear Eponine You won't feel any pain A little fall of rain Can hardly hurt you now I'm 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... I will stay with you Till you are sleeping And rain Will make the flowers... Grow. 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.)
