Cosette:
Where's he gone without a word?
That wouldn't be his way to go
Why so sudden? Why so strange?
And did he say how long he'll be gone?

Marius:
All he asked for me to say is
He's on a journey far away

Cosette:
He can't leave us now
Oh how he breaks my heart

Marius:
And we will never be apart
[Spoken] I promise.
