Friend
The Original Cast Lyrics

My, them handles is chased silver, ain't they?
Oh, these handles are made of silver that has been carefully engraved, aren't they?

These are my friends
These objects are like my friends

See how they glisten
Observe how they sparkle

See this one shine
Notice how this particular one radiates light

How he smiles in the light
He seems to be beaming when in the presence of light

My friend
You, my loyal companion

My faithful friend
You, who has always been there for me

Speak to me, friend
Communicate with me, my dear comrade

Whisper, I'll listen
Utter your words softly, and I will pay attention

I know, I know
I understand, I comprehend

You've been locked out of sight all these years
You have been hidden away from the world for such a long time

Like me, my friend
Similar to me, my dear friend

Well, I've come home
Now, I have returned to where I belong

To find you waiting
To discover you patiently anticipating my arrival

Home
Where we feel safe and comfortable

And we're together
And now we are reunited

And we'll do wonders
And together, we will achieve extraordinary things

Won't we?
Is that not the case?

You there, my friend (I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd)
You, my dear comrade (I also consider myself your companion, Mr. Todd)

Come let me hold you (if you only knew, Mr. Todd)
Allow me to embrace you (if you were aware of the truth, Mr. Todd)

Now, with a sigh (ooh, Mr. Todd)
Now, let out a breath of weariness (expressing sympathy, Mr. Todd)

You grow warm in my hand (you're warm in my hand)
You are becoming comfortably warm in my grasp

My friend (you've come home)
My loyal companion (you have returned to where you belong)

My clever friend (always had a fondness for you, I did)
My intelligent friend (I have always had an affection for you)

Rest now my friends (never you fear, Mr. Todd)
Find rest now, my dear companions (do not worry, Mr. Todd)

Soon I'll unfold you (you can move in here, Mr. Todd)
Soon, I will reveal your true potential (you can reside here, Mr. Todd)

Soon you'll know splendors you never have dreamed all your days (will be yours)
Soon, you will experience wonders beyond your imagination (they will belong to you)

My lucky friends
Fortunate beings that you are

I'm your friend
I am here as your companion

'Til now your shine was merely silver (and you're mine)
Until this moment, your brightness was only perceived as silver (and you belong to me)

Don't they shine beautiful?
Aren't they shining beautifully?

Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T
Being made of silver is satisfactory for my preferences, Mr. T

Friends, you shall drip rubies
My companions, you will exude droplets of precious rubies

You'll soon drip precious rubies
In the near future, you will release valuable ruby gems

At last my arm is complete again
Finally, my appendage is whole once more
