Stephen Sondheim - My Friends lyrics

rate me

My Friends

TODD:

These are my friends…

See how they glisten

See this one shine…

How he smiles in the light

My friends

My faithful friends

Speak to me friends…

Whisper, I’ll listen

I know, I know

You’ve been locked out of sight all these years

Like me my friends

Well I’ve come home

To find you waiting

Home…And we’re together

And we’ll do wonders

Won’t we…

(Todd and Ms. Lovett sing simultaneously)

TODD:

You there my friend…

Come let me hold you

Now, with a sigh

You grow warm in my hand

My friend…

My clever my friend

MS. LOVETT:

I’m your friend too, Mr. Todd

If you only knew, Mr. Todd

Ooh, Mr. Todd you’re warm in my hand

You’ve come home

Always had a fondness for you, I did

TODD:

Rest now my friends…

Soon I’ll unfold you

Soon you’ll know splendors you never have dreamed all your days

My lucky friends…

MS. LOVETT:

Never you fear, Mr. Todd

You can move in here, Mr. Todd

Splendors you never have dreamed all your days will be yours

I’m your friend

TODD:

Till now your shine…was merely silver…

Friends…You shall drip rubies…

You’ll soon drip precious…rubies…

MS. LOVETT:

And you’re mine

Don’t they shine beautiful?

Silver’s good enough for me

Mr. T…

TODD (spoken):

*Leave me.*

At last…my arm is complete again
