Sweeney Todd Suite: Not While I'm Around / Johanna / My Friends

Stephen Sondheim

Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you
No sir, not while I'm around

Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care, I got ways

No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there

Demons'll charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time nothing can harm you
Not while I'm around

Not to worry, not to worry
I may not be smart but I ain't dumb
I can do it, put me to it
Show me something I can overcome
Not to worry, mum

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to, I would never
Hide a thing from you
Like some

Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you, Toby
Not while I'm around

Demons are prowling everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care

No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there

Demons'll charm you with a smile
For a while
But in time nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around

I feel you, Johanna, I feel you
I was half-convinced I'd waken
Satisfied enough to dream you
Happily I was mistaken, Johanna
I'll steal you, Johanna, I'll steal 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

I feel you, Johanna
And one day, I'll steal you
'Til I'm with you then I'm with you there
Sweetly buried in your yellow hair

My, them handles is chased silver, ain't they?
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 waiting
Home, and we're together
And we'll do wonders
Won't we?
You there, my friend?

I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd
If you only knew, Mr. Todd, ooh, Mr. Todd
You're warm in my hand, my friend
You've come home
Always had a fondness for you, I did

Rest now, my friends
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 and you're mine
Don't they shine beautiful?
Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T

Friends, you shall drip rubies
You'll soon drip precious rubies

At last, my arm is complete again
