Lyrics My Friends - Stephen Sondheim

My Friends

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’re 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)
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 never have dreamed)
You never have dreamed
All your days
(All your days)
My lucky friends.
(I'm your friend)
Till now your shine
(And now you’re mine)
(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.
Spoken:
At last
My arm is complete
