My Friends
Stephen Sondheim
[Verse 1]
These are my friends
See how they glisten
See this one shine
How he smiles in the light
My friend
My faithful friend
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
You there, my friend
Come let me hold you
Now, with a sigh
You're warm in my hand
My friend
My clever friend
[Verse 4]
Rest now, my friends
Soon, I'll unfold you
Soon you'll know Splendors you never have dreamed all your days
My lucky friends
'Til now your shine
Was merely silver
Friends, you shall drip rubies
You'll soon drip precious...rubies
[Breakdown]
At last! My right arm is complete again!
