My Friends

(альбом: Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (2023 Broadway Cast Recording) - 2023)

[MRS. LOVETT:]
My, them handles is chased silver, ain't they?

[SWEENEY TODD:]
Silver, yes...

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're waiting
Home

And we're together
And we'll do wonders
Won't we?

[SWEENEY 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)
You grow warm
In my hand
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 splendors
You have never dreamed
All your days (Will be yours)
My lucky friends (I'm your friend, and you're mine!)
Till now your shine (Don't they shine beautiful?)
Was merely silver (Silver's good enough for me)
Friends (Mr. T)
You shall drip rubies
You'll soon drip precious
Rubies...

At last, my right arm is complete again!

[COMPANY:]
Lift your razor high, Sweeney!
Hear it singing, "Yes!"
Sink it in the rosy skin
Of righteousness

[BEADLE:]
His voice was soft, his manner mild

[WOMEN:]
He seldom laughed but he often smiled

[MAN:]
He'd seen how civilized men behaved
He never forgot and he never forgave

[WOMEN:]
Not Sweeney
Not Sweeney Todd

[MEN:]
The demon barber of Fleet Street...
