One Day More Lyrics - Les Mis�rables Cast

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

Marius
Do I follow where she goes?

Enjolras
At the barricades of freedom

Marius
Shall I join my brothers there?

Enjolras
When our ranks begin to form

Marius
Do I stay or do I dare?

Enjolras
Will you take your place with me?

All
The time is now
The day is here

Valjean
One day more

Javert
One day more to revolution
We will nip it in the bud
They will wet themselves with blood

Valjean
One day more

M J MME, Thenardier
Watch ’em run amuck
Catch ’em 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

Stuednts (2 Groups)
1.One day to a new beginning
2.Raise the flag of freedom high
1.Every man will be a king
2.Every man will be a king
1.There’s a new world for the winning
2.There’s a new world to be won

All
Do you hear the people sing?

Marius
My place is here
I fight with you

Valjean
One day more

Javeri(Overlapping)
We will join these people’s heroes
We will follow where they go
We will learn their little secrets
We will know the things they know

Marius & Cossette
One day more

M J MME, Thenardier
Watch ’em run amuck
Catch ’em as they fall
Never know you luck
When there’s a free for all

Javert
Tomorrow is the judgement day

Valjean
Tomorrow we’ll be far away

All
What our God in Heaven has in store
One more dawn
One more day
One day more!
