(The defenders settle down for the night with wine and a song)
ENJOLRAS
Marius, rest.
FEUILLY
Drink with me to days gone by
Sing with me the songs we knew
PROUVAIRE
Here's to pretty girls who went to our heads.
JOLY
Here's to witty girls who went to out beds.
ALL
Here's to them and here's to you!
GRANTAIRE
Drink with me to days gone by
Can it be you fear to die?
Will the world remember you
When you fall?
Could it be your death
Means nothing at all?
Is your life just one more lie?
ALL
Drink with me to days gone by
To the life that used to be
WOMEN
At the shrine of friendship, never say die
MEN
Let the wine of friendship never run dry
ALL
Here's to you and here's to me
MARIUS
Do I care if I should die
Now she goes across the sea?
Life without Cosette
Means nothing at all.
Would you weep, Cosette,
Should Marius fall?
Will you weep, Cosette,
For me?
(Marius settles down to sleep)
