My Friends Lyrics by Len Cariou, Angela Lansbury

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Original Cast Recording)

1979

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
My, them handles is chased silver, ain't they?
[TODD, spoken]
Silver, yes...
(sung)
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)
You grow warm (You're warm)
In my hand (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 (Splendors)
You have never dreamed (You never have dreamed)
All your days (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...
[TODD, spoken]
At last, my arm is complete again!
