Valjean's Confession - Gareth Gates (葛瑞·盖斯)/John Owen-Jones
There lived a man whose 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 a parole lived and life apart
How could he Cosette tell and break her heart
It's for Cosette must this 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 will turn you from this
Monsieur you cannot 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 M'sieur 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
