Les Miserables – One Day More lyrics

Valjean
One day more,
Another day, another destiny,
This never ending road to Calvary;
These men who seem to know my crime
Will surely come a second time,
One day more...

Marius
I did not live until today,
How can I live when we are parted?

Valjean
One day more...

Marius & Cosette
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away,
And yet with you, my world has started.

Eponine
One more day all on my own

Marius & Cosette
Will we ever meet again?

Eponine
One more day with him not caring

Marius & Cosette
I was born to be with you.

Eponine
What a life I might have known

Marius & Cosette
And I swear I will be true!

Eponine
But he never saw me there...

Enjolras
One more day before the storm!
At the barricades of Freedom!
When our ranks begin to form,
Will you take your place with me? Marius
Do I follow where she goes!
Shall I join my brothers there!
Do I stay or do I dare?

All
The time is now
The place is here

Valjean
One day more!

Javert
One more day till revolution,
We will nip it in the bud!
I will join these little schoolboys,
They will wet themselves with blood!

Valjean
One day more!

M. & Mme. Thenardier
Watch'm run amuck,
Catch'm when they fall,
Never know your luck
When there's a free for all,
Here a little pinch,
There a little touch,
Most of them are goners
So they won't miss much!

Various Students
One day to a new beginning
Raise the flag of freedom high!
Every man will be a king
Every man will be a king
There's a new world for the winning
There's a new world to be won
Do you hear the people sing?

Marius
My place is here,
I fight with you!

Valjean
One day more!

Marius & Cosette
I did not live until today...
Tomorrow you'll be worlds away
And yet with you my world has started Eponine
One more day all on my own...

Javert
I will join these people's heroes
I will follow where they go
I will know their little secrets,
I will know the things they know.

Valjean
One day more!

M. & Mme. Thenardier
Watch 'em run amuck
Catch 'em as they fall
Never know your luck
When there's a free-for-all

Javert
One more day to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We'll be ready for these schoolboys
Tomorrow is the judgement day

Valjean
Tomorrow we'll be far away,
Tomorrow is the judgement day

All
Tomorrow we'll discover
What our God in Heaven has in store!
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!
