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!

MARIUS
Do I follow where she goes?

ENJOLRAS
At the barricade of freedom!

MARIUS
Do 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?

CHORUS
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
I will join these little schoolboys
They will wet themselves with blood

VALJEAN
One day more

THENARDIERS
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!

CHORUS (Altos/Baritones)
One day to a new beginning

CHORUS (Enjolras/Sopranos/Tenors)
Raise the flag of freedom high!

CHORUS (Altos/Baritones)
Every man will be a king!

CHORUS (Enjolras/Sopranos/Tenors)
Every man will be a king

CHORUS (Altos/Baritones)
There's a new world for the winning

CHORUS (Enjolras/Sopranos/Tenors)
There's a new world to be won

Do you hear the people sing?

My place is here I fight with you!

VALJEAN
One day more!

I did not live until today! How can I live when we are parted?

I will join these people's heroes, I will follow where they go. I will learn their little secrets, I will know the things they know

One more day all on my own!

THENARDIER
Watch 'em run amuck, catch 'em as they fall, here a little dip, there a little touch

One day more!

Tomorrow you'll be worlds away - and yet with you my world has started!

JAVERT
One more day to revolution, we will nip it in the bud. We'll be ready for these schoolboys

Tomorrow we'll be far away

VALJEAN/JAVERT
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!

4Shared is saying this file isn't available! =(

Whoops - it's now linked to ESnips :)

Cool! Thanks! I will work on it tonight. :)

Oh damn I am totally having trouble finding the timing for Eponine's last two lines...where she's hidden among the other voices...

You're not alone-I'm having the same problem with the Thenardiers in that half of the song where they all sing over each other.

Yeah...it is soo confusing in that part! :o

OK so I totally watched One Day More on YouTube and got Eponine's tricky part down, as well as contributed to the ensemble.

If I'm too loud/too quiet, tell me; I can fix it.

Hope this doesn't suck too badly. :)

It sounds AWESOME!! :D Got the ending right on :D

How should we judge which part to sing? I think I may be able to sing both the soprano and the alto part... is one of them in higher demand?

Good question Ponine! I will be posting more details on that soon, but right now it'd be great if you could sing soprano :D

Aight. I'll see which sounds best.

Okay, so I finally got around to recording soprano ensemble bits, but my good mic is connected to my mum's laptop (which she has) so it sounded pretty fuzzy. I'll record it within this coming week.

Yay! Thanks Ponine! :D :D

Here you go:

It tells me it's a bad link. :(

(Then again, my computer's acting a coward lately. <_<)

I have just recorded Marius' part for the song "One Day More":
http://www.esnips.com/doc/e00c447d-7707-44...cc16/OneDayMore

But I did not finish all the ensemble parts yet, I need to check it back how the different parts go for the music.

Yay for recording!! Though unfortunately I can't access the file :(

Neither can I. :(

That sucks!!
Well are you guys be able to download it and play it somewhere?

Definitely - megaupload, 4shared or even sendspace would be great =)

Here it is:

Thanks Billy!! It sounds awesome! =D =D

Oh thx.
Btw I just got casted in Les Miserables as Enjolras in a local production, today just rehearsed "People's Song" and "One Day More".

This is the same version of "One Day More" but just want to make it permanent link.

Hey guys!

How is everyone, 2 years later? I accidentally stumbled upon this forum again today, and a whoooole rush of memories came flooding back at me. I loved it! Miss you guys. Hope you're all doing well!!


Much love,
Amkii

I keep coming back to this forum hoping someone comes back--glad to see you again, Amkii! :D I'm thinking about moving to Christchurch, NZ later this year now that I've graduated from uni, so definitely got lots on my plate at the moment.
