"Final Scene" lyrics

[TODD:]
Oh no! Oh God... "Don't I know you?" she said…

You knew she lived. From the first moment I walked into your shop you knew my Lucy lived!

[MRS. LOVETT:]
I was only thinking of you.

[TODD:]
Lucy

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Your Lucy! A crazy hag picking bones and rotten spuds out of alley ash cans. Would, would you have wanted to know that was all that was left of her?

[TODD:]
You lied to me!

[MRS. LOVETT:]
No, no, not lied at all
No, I never lied

[TODD:]
Lucy…

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Said she took the poison—she did!
Never said that she died
Poor thing!
She lived—

[TODD:]
I've come home again

[MRS. LOVETT:]
But it left her weak in the head
All she did for months was just lie there in bed—

[TODD:]
Lucy...

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Should've been in hospital
Wound up in Bedlam instead
Poor thing!

[TODD:]
Oh, my God...

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Better you should think she was dead
Yes, I lied 'cause I love you!
I'd be twice the wife she was!

[TODD:]
Lucy…

[MRS. LOVETT:]
I love you!

[TODD:]
What have I done?…

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Could that thing have cared for you like me?

[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

[MRS. LOVETT (TODD):]
Do you mean it? (No, come here, my love...)
Everything I did
I swear I thought
Was only for the best (Not a thing to fear)
Believe me! (My love...)
Can we (What's dead)
Still be (Is dead)
Married?

[TODD:]
The history of the world, my pet—

[MRS. LOVETT:]
Oh, Mr. Todd
Ooh, Mr. Todd
Leave it to me...

[TODD:]
—Is learn forgiveness and try to forget

[MRS. LOVETT:]
By the sea, Mr. Todd
We'll be comfy-cozy
You and me, Mr. Todd
Where there's no one nosy…

[TODD:]
And life is for the alive, my dear
So let's keep living it!

[MRS. LOVETT & TODD:]
Just keep living it
Really living it
