Claude-Michel Schönberg ☆ In My Life

How strange
This feeling that
My life’s begun at last
This change
Can people really fall in love
So fast
What’s the matter
with you Cosette
Have you been too much
on your own
So many things unclear
So many things unknown
In my life
There are so many questions
and answers
That somehow seem wrong
In my life
There are times
when I catch in the silence
The sigh of a faraway song
And it sings
Of a world that I long to see
Out of reach
Just a whisper away
Waiting for me
Does he know I’m alive
Do I know if he’s real
Does he see what I see
Does he feel what I feel
In my life
I’m no longer alone
Now the love in my life
Is so near
Find me now
Find me here
Dear Cosette
You’re such a lonely child
How pensive
How sad you seem to me
Believe me
were it within my power
I’d fill each passing hour
How quiet it must be
I can see
With only me for company
There’s so little I know
That I’m longing to know
Of the child that I was
In a time long ago
There’s so little you say
Of the life you have known
Why you keep to yourself
Why we’re always alone
So dark So dark and deep
The secrets that you keep
In my life
I have all that I want
You are loving
and gentle and good
But Papa dear Papa
In your eyes
I am just like a child
Who is lost in a wood
No more words
No more words
It’s a time that is dead
There are words
That are better unheard
Better unsaid
In my life
I’m no longer a child
and I yearn
For the truth that you know
Of the years years ago
You will learn
Truth is given by God
To us all in our time
In our turn
In my life
She has burst like
the music of angels
The light of the sun
And my life seems to stop
As if something is over
And something has
scarcely begun
Eponine you’re the friend
who has brought me here
Thanks to you
I am one with the gods
And Heaven is near
And I soar through a world
that is new that is free
Every word that he says
is a dagger in me
In my life
There’s been no one
like him anywhere
Anywhere where he is
If he asked I’d be his
In my life
There is someone
who touches my life
Waiting here
