If I owned Les Mis… haven't we been over this?



Watching the Rain



I guess I never knew love

Living where I did, you see.

But you were right there with me

Teaching me unknowingly.

Love snuck up on me,

And although I didn't show,

I guess I loved you most of all

With an emotion I didn't know.

I had my share of anger

Just like you, of course.

You would treat me like all the others

Sometimes yell till you were hoarse.

But then there were those times

When your voice was much kinder

I even thought that you cared

About what happened to your little brother—

I guess I loved you, Eponine,

But in that sibling way.

Ah, here comes your own love, Marius!

Here to save your day.

I wanted to say good-bye to you, sis,

But I'll let Marius do the talkin'.

Do you know he saved me?

Just as he was walkin' in!

You saved his life, 'Ponine,

And in that you saved mine.

But your own life is fleeting, sis,

And you say that's just fine.

Thanks a million thanks to you

You were the best to me.

Why do you hafta go and die on me now?

Couldn't we have been a family?

I want to show you just how much I cared

But there are things even little people can't do;

So I'll just whisper these few words out loud:

Eponine, I love you.



Go ahead, Monsieur Marius,

Take my sister to the moon.

Tell everything you wanted—

I'll be with her soon.
