Wait Lyrics by Annaleigh Ashford

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2023 Broadway Cast Recording)

2023

[TODD, spoken]
Why doesn't the Beadle come? "Before the week is out," that's what he said. 
[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
And who says the week's out yet? It's only Friday. 
(sung)
Easy now
Hush, love, hush
Don't distress yourself
What's your rush?
Keep your thoughts
Nice and lush
Wait
Hush, love, hush
Think it through
Once it bubbles
Then what's to do?
Watch it close
Let it brew
Wait
I've been thinkin' flowers—
Maybe daisies—
To brighten up the room
Don't you think some flowers
Pretty daisies
Might relieve the gloom?
Ah, wait, love, wait
[TODD, spoken]
And the Judge? When will I get him?
[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Can't you think of nothing elsе? Always broodin' away on your wrongs, what happened heavеn knows how many years ago. 
(sung)
Slow, love, slow
Time's so fast
Now goes quickly—
See, now it's past
Soon will come
Soon will last
Wait
Don't you know
Silly man
Half the fun is to
Plan the plan?
All good things come to
Those who can
Wait
Gillyflowers maybe
'Stead of daisies
I don't know, though
What do you think?
[TODD, spoken]
Yes...
[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Gillyflowers, I'd say. Nothing like a nice bowl of gillies.
