Drink With Me (The Night)

Before the battle, the students drink to their last night together.

Grantaire (Joe):
Drink with me to days gone by
Can it be you fear to die?
Will the world remember you
When you fall?
Could it be your death
Means nothing at all?
Is your life just one more lie?

Men: Women:
Drink with me  
  Drink with me
to days  
  to days
gone by.  
  gone by.
To the life  
  To the life
that used  
  that used
to be.  
  to be.
  At the shrine of friendship never say die

All:
Let the wine of friendship never run dry

Men: Women:
Here's to you  
  Here's to you
and here's  
  and here's
to me.  
  to me.

At this point, Marius sings wistfully of Cosette, and then falls asleep. Valjean prays over him, in the next song ("Bring Him Home"). In the show, the following words are sung at dawn, as the students awake.

Feuilly (Joe):
Drink with me to days gone by
Sing with me the songs we knew
All (Men):
At the shrine of friendship
Raise your glass high
Let the wine of friendship
Never run dry
(Joe):
If I die, I die with you!
