A sweet lullaby-style song sung by the young Cosette in the stage play and feature film, Les Misérables. It’s a lovely simple melody with a small range, making it perfect for beginners.
You may find the letter notes easier to play if you shift them up a bit, especially if you’re on flute or recorder, as this song is quite low. Happy practice!

There is a castle on a cloud
A B ^C B A G F E
I like to go there in my sleep

Aren’t any floors for me to sweep
D E F E-D C .B .A
Not in my castle on a cloud…
F E D C-D E F E-C
There is a lady all in white
A G F E F G-A-G
Holds me and sings a lullaby
G Bb A G F G A F C
She’s nice to see and she’s soft to touch
D E
She says …
F – E F E F E-F E
“Cosette I love you very much…”
A B ^C B A A – G# A
I know a place where no-ones lost
A B ^C B A G – F E
I know a place where no-one cries
D – E F E A B ^C-A
Crying at all is not allowed
D E F E-D C .B .A
Not in my castle on a cloud…
