Stephen Sondheim Johanna Lyrics

[ANTHONY]
I feel you, Johanna
I feel you
Do they think that walls can hide you?
Even now I'm at your window
I am in the dark beside you
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair
Johanna

[TODD]
And are you beautiful and pale
With yellow hair, like her
I'd want you beautiful and pale
The way I've dreamed you were,
Johanna

[ANTHONY]
Johanna

[TODD]
And if you're beautiful what then
With yellow hair, like wheat
I think we shall not meet again,
My little dove, my sweet,
Johanna

[ANTHONY]
I'll steal you, Johanna

[TODD]
Goodbye, Johanna
You're gone and yet you're mine
I'm fine, Johanna
I'm fine

[ANTHONY]
Johanna

[BEGGAR]
Smoke, smoke
Sign of the devil (x2)
City on fire
Witch, a witch
Smell it sir, an evil smell
Every night at the vesper's spell
Smoke that came with an awful hell
City on fire (x2)
Mischief (x3)

[TODD]
And if I never hear your voice,
My turtle dove, my dear
I still have reason to rejoice
The way ahead is clear
Johanna

[ANTHONY]
I feel you, Johanna

[TODD]
And in that darkness when I'm blind
With what I can't forget
It's always morning in my mind,
My little lamb, my pet
Johanna
You stay, Johanna

[ANTHONY]
Johanna

[TODD]
The way I dreamed you were
Oh, look, Johanna
A star

[ANTHONY]
Buried sweetly in your yellow hair

[TODD]
A shooting star

[BEGGAR]
There, there
Somebody, somebody
Look up there
Didn't I tell you?
Smell that air
City on fire
Quick, sir! Run and tell
Warn them all of the witch's spell
There it is, there it is
That unholy smell
Tell it to the Beadle, and police as well
Tell them, tell them
Oh! Fiend!
City on fire (x2)
Mischief (x2)

[TODD]
And though I'll think of you I guess
Until the day I die
I think I miss you less and less
As every day goes by
Johanna

[ANTHONY]
Johanna

[TODD]
And you'd be beautiful and pale
And look too much like her
If only angels could prevail
We'd be the way we were
Johanna

[ANTHONY]
I feel you, Johanna

[TODD]
Wake up, Johanna
Another bright red day
We learn, Johanna
To say
Goodbye

[ANTHONY]
I'll steal you
