Johanna Lyrics by Len Cariou, Victor Garber, Merle Louise, Sarah Rice
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Original Cast Recording)
1979
[ANTHONY] I feel you, Johanna I feel you Do they think that walls can hide you? Even now I'm at your window I am in the dark beside you Buried sweetly in your yellow hair Johanna… [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] Smoke! Smoke! Sign of the devil! Sign of the devil! City on fire! Witch! Witch! Smell it, sir! An evil smell! Every night at the vespers bell Smoke that comes from the mouth of hell! City on fire! City on fire! Mischief! Mischief! Mischief! [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! [BEGGAR WOMAN] There! There! Somebody, somebody look up there! Didn't I tell you? Smell that air! City on fire! Quick, sir! Run and tell! Warn 'em all of the witch's spell! There it is, there it is, the unholy smell! Tell it to the Beadle and the police as well! Tell 'em! Tell 'em! Help! Fiend! City on fire! City on fire Mischief... Mischief... Mischief... Fiend... Alms... Alms... [TODD] 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… [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... [TODD] Wake up, Johanna! Another bright red day! We learn, Johanna To say Goodbye… [ANTHONY] I'll steal you…
