My Friends
[SWEENEY TODD]
These are my friends
See how they glisten
See this one shine
How he smiles in the light
My friend
My faithful friend
Speak to me, friend
Whisper, I'll listen
I know, I know you've been locked out of sight
All these years, like me, my friend
well I've come home to find you waiting
Home and we're together!
And we'll do wonders
Won't we?
[TODD (MRS. LOVETT)]
You there, my friend? (I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd)
Come let me hold you (If you only knew, Mr. Todd)
Now, with a sigh (Ooh, Mr. Todd)
[BOTH]
You're warm in my hand
[TODD (MRS. LOVETT)]
My friend! (You've come home!)
My clever friend (Always had a fondness for you, I did)
Rest now, my friends (Never you fear, Mr. Todd)
Soon, I'll unfold you (You can move in here, Mr. Todd)
Soon you'll know (Mr. Todd)
[BOTH]
Splendors you never have dreamed all your days
[TODD (MRS. LOVETT)]
(Will be yours!) My lucky friends (I'm your friend)
(And you're mine!) 'Til now your shine
(Don't they shine beautiful?) Was merely silver
(Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T.)
Friends, you shall drip rubies
You'll soon drip precious...rubies
[TODD, spoken]
At last! My arm is complete again!
