*LYRICS:* *[Todd, spoken]* _”Don’t I know you,” she said…_ _You knew she lived._ *[Lovett, spoken]* _I was only thinking of you…_ *[Todd, spoken]* _You lied to me._ *[Both, sung]* _[T]_ [L] No no, not lied at all! No, I never lied, _Lucy…_ Said she took a poison, she did, Never said that she died, _I’ve come home again…_ Poor thing, she lived, But it left her weak in the head! All she did for months was just lie there in bed, _Lucy…_ Should’ve been in hospital, Wound up in Bedlam instead. Poor thing! _Oh my God…!_ Better you should think she was dead! Yes, I lied, ‘cause I love you! _Lucy…!_ I’d be twice the wife she was, I love you! _What have I done…!_ Could that thing have cared for you like me?! *[Todd, sung]* Missus Lovett, you’re a bloody wonder, Imminently practical and yet appropriate as always! As you’ve said repeatedly, there’s little point in dwelling on the past! *[Both, sung]* _[T]_ [L] _Now come here my love,_ Do you mean it? Everything I did I swear I thought was only for the best! _Not a thing to fear my love…_ Believe me! Can we _What’s dead_ Still be _Is dead_ Married! *[Todd, sung]* The history of the world my pet, *[Lovett, sung]* Oh Mister Todd, Oh Mister Todd, Leave it to me! *[Todd, sung]* Is learn forgiveness and try to forget! *[Lovett, sung]* By the sea, Mister Todd, We’ll be comfy-cozy, By the sea, Mister Todd. Where there’s no one nosy! *[Todd, sung]* And life is for the alive my dear, So let’s keep living it! *[Both sung together]* Just keep living it! REALLY LIVING IT!!! _lovett dies lmao_
It's sad how Mrs. Lovett was blinded by his love for Sweeney. Although, if you really love a person, you should let them go to have their own happiness and not be selfish with them
Starting at 0:03, notice the continuing melody mix between : “For a miserable woman” (Lucy’s theme) and then at 0:06 - 0:17 “and my Lucy lies in aches” (Sweeney’s melody). IT’S SO IMPRESSIVE. Sondheim is a genius. I haven’t noticed it until now.
0:45 was my favorite part when he sang "I've come home again..." his voice is beautiful and the music in the back turns incredible!! I keep putting it on repeat 😆
