Not While I'm Around

This is one of my favourite songs from a musical. It's from Sweeney Todd:

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around.
Nothing's gonna harm you, no sir, not while I'm around.

Demons are prowling everywhere, nowadays,
I'll send 'em howling, I don't care, I got ways.

No one's gonna hurt you, No one's gonna dare.
Others can desert you, Not to worry, whistle, I'll be there.

Demons'll charm you with a smile,
for a while,
But in time...
Nothing can harm you. Not while I'm around...

Not to worry, not to worry. I may not be smart but I ain't dumb
I can do it, put me to it. Show me something I can overcome
Not to worry, Mum

Being close and being clever, ain't like being true
I don't need to, I would never hide a thing from you,
Like some...

No one's gonna hurt you, no one's gonna dare
Others can desert you, not to worry, whistle, I'll be there!

Demons'll charm you with a smile,
for a while
But in time...

Nothing can harm you. Not while I'm around...

Heaven


It's the sun on my skin
The wind in my hair
It's the sound of the sea
The smell of the air

It's the colours in the sky
The sand between my toes
The song in my heart
That no one else knows

It's the silence in my ears
The laughter in my eyes
The happiness from within
Where all sorrow dies

Indescribable, inexplicable, almost-painful joy
It's calm
It's bliss...it's Heaven.
