Johanna (Reprise)
[TODD]
And are you beautiful and pale
With yellow hair, like her?
I'd want you beautiful and pale
The way I've dreamed you were
Johanna…

[ANTHONY]
Johanna...

[TODD]
And if you're beautiful, what then
With yellow hair, like wheat?
I think we shall not meet again—
My little dove, my sweet
Johanna…

[ANTHONY]
I'll steal you
Johanna…

[TODD]
Goodbye, Johanna
You're gone, and yet you're mine
I'm fine, Johanna
I'm fine!
[ANTHONY]
Johanna…

[BEGGAR WOMAN]
City on fire!
City on fire!

[TODD]
And if I never hear your voice
My turtledove, my dear
I still have reason to rejoice
The way ahead is clear
Johanna…

[JOHANNA'S VOICE]
I'll marry Anthony Sunday...
Anthony Sunday...

[ANTHONY]
I feel you...

[TODD]
And in that darkness when I'm blind
With what I can't forget—

[ANTHONY]
Johanna...
[TODD]
It's always morning in my mind
My little lamb, my pet
Johanna…

[JOHANNA'S VOICE]
I knew you'd come for me one day...
Come for me... one day...

[TODD]
You stay, Johanna—

[ANTHONY]
Johanna...

[TODD]
The way I've dreamed you are
Oh, look, Johanna—
A star!

[ANTHONY]
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair...

[TODD]
A shooting star!
And though I'll think of you, I guess
Until the day I die
I think I miss you less and less
As every day goes by
Johanna…

[BEGGAR WOMAN]
City on fire!
City on fire!
City on fire!

[ANTHONY]
Johanna…

[JOHANNA'S VOICE]
With you beside me on Sunday
Married on Sunday…

[TODD]
And you'd be beautiful and pale
And look too much like her
If only angels could prevail
We'd be the way we were
Johanna…

[ANTHONY]
I feel you...
Johanna...

[JOHANNA'S VOICE]
Married on Sunday...
Married on Sunday...

[BEGGAR WOMAN]
City on fire!

[TODD]
Wake up, Johanna!
Another bright red day!
We learn, Johanna
To say
Goodbye…

[ANTHONY]
I'll steal you…

[TODD]
Goodbye...
Goodbye...

[BEGGAR WOMAN]
Alms! Alms!
For a miserable woman
