Valjean's Confession - Live

There lived a man whos name was Jean-Valjean
He stole some bread to save his sister's son
For nineteen winters served his time
In sweat, he washed away his crime
Years ago, he broke parole and lived a life apart
How could he tell Cosette and break her heart?
It's for Cosette this must be faced
If he is caught she is disgraced
The time has come to journey on
And from this day he must be gone
Who am I?
Who am I?
You're Jean-Valjean
What can I do that would turn you from this?
Monsieur you can not leave
Whatever I tell my beloved Cosette she will never believe
Make her believe I have gone on a journey a long way away
Tell her my heart was too full for farewells
It is better this way
Promise me Monsieur, Cosette will never know
I give my word
What I have spoken, why I must go
For the sake of Cosette
It must be so
