Not while I'm aroundSweeney Todd: "Toby?",[Instrumental]Anthony Hope: "Mr. Todd!
You wait for him here. I'll return with the coach in less
than half an hour. Don't worry, no one will recognize you.
You're safe now."Johanna: "Safe? So we run away and then all our dreams come true?"Anthony Hope: "I hope so."Johanna: "I've never had dreams. Only nightmares."Anthony Hope: "Johanna, when we're free of this place, all the ghosts will go away."Johanna: "No, Anthony. They never go away."Anthony Hope: "I'll be right back to you. Half an hour and we'll be free."[Instrumental]Beggar Woman: Beadle!, Beadle!,

in her heart."Hey-- don't I know you, mister?Judge Turpin: "Mr. Todd?"[Dramatic Instrumental]Judge Turpin: "Where is she?"Sweeney Todd: "Below, your honor. With my neighbour. Thank heavens

They're thereJudge Turpin: "How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit!"Sweeney Todd: "With fellow tastes-- in women, at least."Judge Turpin: "What's that?"Sweeney Todd: "The years no doubt have changed me, sir.

No, I never lied!Sweeney Todd: Lucy,Mrs. Lovett: Said she took the poison-- she did
Never said that she diedSweeney Todd: I've come home again...Mrs. Lovett: Poor thing!
She lived but it left her weak in the head
All she did for months was just lie there in bed--Sweeney Todd: Lucy,Mrs. Lovett: Should've been in a hospital
Wound up in Bedlam instead
Poor thing!Sweeney Todd: Oh, my God,Mrs. Lovett: Better you should think she was dead
Yes, I lied 'cos I love you!Sweeney Todd: Lucy,Mrs. Lovett: I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!Sweeney Todd: What have I done!?,Mrs. Lovett: Could that thing have cared for you like me?Sweeney Todd: Mrs. Lovett
You're a bloody wonder
Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate as always
As you've said repeatedly
There's little point in dwelling on the past![Simultaneously:]Sweeney Todd: Now come here, my love,
Not a thing to fear, my love,
What's dead, is dead!Mrs. Lovett: Do you mean it?
Everything I did
I swear I thought was only for the best

Still be
Married?Sweeney Todd: The history of the world, my pet--Mrs. Lovett: Oh, Mr. Todd
Oh, Mr. Todd
Leave it to me...Sweeney Todd: Is learn forgiveness and try to forgetMrs. Lovett: By the sea, Mr. Todd, we'll be comfy-cosy
