Les Miserables Cast Lyrics | “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 day is here
[Valjean:]
One day more!
[Javert:]
One more day till revolution
We will nip it in the bud
We’ll be ready for these schoolboys
They will wet themselves with blood!
[Valjean:]
One day more!
[M. & Mme. Thenardier:]
Watch them run amuck
Catch’m as they fall
Never know your luck
When there’s a free for all
Here a little dip
There a little touch
Most of them are goners
So they won’t miss much!
[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!
