Wait
Stephen Sondheim
[TODD]
Why hasn't Beadle Bamford come? Before the week is out, that's what he said

[MRS. LOVETT]
And who says the week is out yet? It's only Tuesday

Easy now
Hush, love, hush
Don't distress yourself
What's your rush?
Keep your thoughts nice and lush
Wait

Hush, love, hush
Think it through
Once it bubbles then what's to do?
Watch it close, let it brew
Wait

I've been thinking flowers
Maybe daisies
To brighten up the room
Don't you think some flowers
Pretty daisies
Might relieve the gloom?
Ah, wait
Love, wait
[TODD]
And what about the Judge? When will I get to him?

[MRS. LOVETT]
Oh, can't you think of nothing else? Always brooding on your wrongs, what happened heaven knows how many years ago

Slow, love, slow
Time's so fast
Now goes quickly
See, now it's past
Soon will come
Soon will last
Wait

Don't you know, silly man
Half the fun is to plan the plan?
All good things come to those who can
Wait

Gillyflowers maybe
'Stead of daisies
I don't know, though
What do you think?

[TODD]
(speaking) Yes...
[MRS. LOVETT]
Gillyflowers, I'd say. Nothing like a nice bowl of gillies
