shaina taub - if you were my beloved lyrics

Loading...

[viola]
i would build a cabin right at your gate
‘cause my heart would be chained to your floor
i would call up to your window til you opened up the door
if you were my beloved
if you were my beloved

i would write you songs of unanswered love
and sing ‘em loud late at night without shame
i would shout it from the rooftops
til the heavens knew your name
if you were my beloved
if you were my beloved
if you were my beloved

[olivia]
what is your parentage?

[viola]
above my fortunes, yet my state is well: i am a gentleman

[olivia]
get you to your lord;
i cannot love him: let him send no more–
unless, perchance, you come to me again
to tell me how he takes it

[viola]
farewell, fair cruelty

(viola exits)

[olivia]
oh i feel a fever rise in my eyes
from the heat of his face as he p-ssed
olivia, be cautious
you’re falling far too fast!
could he be my beloved?
he could be my beloved!

what ho, malvolio!

(malvolio re-enters.)

[malvolio]
here, madam, at your service

(olivia takes a ring off her finger and hands it to malvolio.)

[olivia]
run after that same peevish messenger
he left this ring behind him; tell him i’ll none of it
i am not for him
if that the youth will come this way tomorrow
i’ll give him reasons for it: hie thee, malvolio

[malvolio]
madam, i will

(exit malvolio)

a triple soliloquy, sung overlapping:

[olivia]
i don’t know what i’m doing
is it just l-st or must he be mine?
c’mon fate, give me a sign!

[viola]
i want his love, but i’ll never win it
while she could have him in a minute
isn’t it ironic?
i hope someday she
falls
unrequitedly
head over heels
so she can see
how it feels!

[orsino]
what will she say to the boy?
he’s quite charming
will she give me another cold shoulder?
or will i finally hold her?

[all three]
i could throw all my sorrows away
and play joyful tunes on repeat

[orsino]
so sweet

[all three]
alone, i’m puzzle pieces
but i would be complete

[olivia]
if you were my beloved

[viola]
if you were my beloved

[orsino]
if you were my beloved

[all three]
if you were my beloved
