A Little Fall of Rain

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 farEponine/ Marius [in counterpoint]

E: Can hardly hurt me now
M: Can hardly hurt you now
M: I'm Here
E: That's all I need to know
E: And you will keep me safe
M:I will stay with you
E: And you will keep me close
M:Till you are sleeping
E:And rain
M:And rain
E:Will make the flowers
M:Will make the flowers grow.[She dies. Marius kisses her, then lays her on the ground.]Enjolras
