A Heart Full Of Love
Amanda Seyfried Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A heart full of love
A heart full of song
I'm doing everything all wrong
Oh, God, for shame
I do not even know your name
Dear Mademoiselle
Will you tell?
A heart full of love
No fear, no regret
My name is Marius Pontmercy
And mine's Cosette
Cosette, I don't know what to say
Then make no sound
I am lost
I am found
A heart full of love
(He was never mine to lose)
A heart full of you
(Why regret what cannot be?) A single look and then I knew
I knew it too
(These are words he'll never say, not to me)
From today
(Not to me, not for me)
Every day
(His heart full of love) for it isn't a dream
Not a dream after all (he will never feel this way)
"In My Life/A Heart Full of Love" is a beautiful duet between Marius and Eponine in the musical Les Misérables. In this song, Eponine longs for Marius while he is in love with Cosette. She feels the pain of unrequited love while Marius is oblivious to her feelings. She sings about how Marius has changed her life for the better and how he is the only one who has touched her heart. At the same time, Marius and Cosette sing about their love for each other and how they are both lost and found in each other's hearts.
The lyrics of "In My Life/A Heart Full of Love" are an emotional rollercoaster, as the two pairs of characters sing about their conflicting feelings. In the first part of the song, Eponine sings about how she feels her life has been transformed by Marius, but also how his love for Cosette is like a dagger in her heart. She longs to be with him, but he doesn't realize her feelings. Marius and Cosette, on the other hand, sing about their newfound love and how it has changed their lives forever.
Throughout the song, the characters' feelings are expressed through beautiful and poignant lyrics. The song ultimately shows the complexity of human emotions when it comes to love and how it can bring both joy and pain.

LES MISERABLES
In My Life Lyrics
Cosette:
How strange, this feeling that my life's begun at last
This change, can people really fall in love so fast?
What's the matter with you, Cosette?
Have you been too much on your own?
So many things unclear
So many things unknown.
In my life
There are so many questions and answers
That somehow seem wrong
In my life
There are times when I catch in the silence
The sigh of a faraway song
And it sings
Of a world that I long to see
Out of reach
Just a whisper away
Waiting for me!
Does he know I'm alive?
Do I know if he's real?
Does he see what I see?
Does he feel what I feel?
In my life
I'm no longer alone
Now that love in my life
Is so near
Find me now, find me here!
Valjean:
Dear Cosette,
You're such a lonely child
How pensive, how sad you seem to me
Believe me, were it within my power
I'd fill each passing hour
How quiet it must be, I can see
With only me for company.
Cosette:
There's so little I know
That I'm longing to know
Of the man that you were
In a time long ago
There's so little you say
Of the life you have known
Why you keep to yourself
Why we're always alone
So dark, so dark and deep
The secrets that you keep!
In my life
Please forgive what I say,
You are loving and gentle and good.
But Papa, dear Papa,
In your eyes I am still like the child
Who is lost in a wood
Valjean:
No more words
No more words, it's a time that is dead
There are words
That are better unheard, better unsaid.
Cosette:
In my life
I'm no longer a child and I yearn
For the truth that you know
Of the years... years ago!
Valjean:
You will learn
Truth is given by God
To us all
In our time
In our turn
[Cosette leaves the garden; Marius and Eponine are outside.]
Marius:
In my life
She has burst like the music of angels
The light of the sun
And my life seems to stop
As if something is over
And something has scarcely begun.
Eponine, you're the friend who has brought me here.
Thanks to you I am at one with the Gods and Heaven is near!
And I soar through a world that is new that is free...
Eponine [to herself]
Every word that he says is a dagger in me!
In my life
There's been no-one like him anywhere.
Anywhere, where he is...
If he asked... I'd be his.
Marius & Eponine:
In my life
There is someone who touches my life
Marius:
Waiting near
Eponine:
Waiting here

Am i the only one here who genuinely likes Cosette? Everyone here is hating on her but it’s not her fault Marius fell in love with her and it isn’t his fault either. You can’t help who you love
@shelbylee5114
We stan Cosette in this house
@flibnit1
I can't fault them for falling in love but I can and will fault them for thinking that love is real after having made eye contact a wholw one time for a lengthy 2.5 seconds
@tobiasstudtheol
It has been predestined this way. Eponine was predestined to save Marius that he could be together with Euphrasie.
