How These Things Start Lyricsby Orsino, Viola. From Illyria How These Things Start by Orsino, Viola ORSINO CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I OUGHT TO SAY? HOW I MIGHT BEGIN TO WIN MY WAY INTO HER HEART? I HAVE TRIED SO LONG, BUT EV'RYTHING I DO SEEMS WRONG. SO HOW DO THESE THINGS START? VIOLA I have no particular skill, my Lord. ORSINO YOU COULD TELL ME JUST THE OPENING LINE. HELP ME FOR A WHILE, AND I'LL BE FINE PLAYING THE PART. I'VE THOUGHT ALL ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM THERE ON OUT. BUT HOW DO THESE THINGS START? VIOLA YOU'D SAY HELLO. ORSINO HELLO? VIOLA HOW ARE YOU? ORSINO HOW ARE YOU... VIOLA YOU'D SAY I KNOW WHAT YOU'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH. ORSINO I KNOW - NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE. VIOLA SO THEN YOU ASK. ORSINO I ASK WHAT? VIOLA ABOUT HER FEELINGS. ORSINO AH, YES, I REMEMBER NOW - HER FEELINGS! VIOLA ALL YOU NEED ARE SIMPLE WORDS AT FIRST. IF YOU LET EACH ONE BE UNREHEARSED - SPEAK FROM YOUR HEART. TRY TO BE HER FRIEND, AND WHO KNOWS WHERE IT ALL MAY END. BUT THAT'S HOW THESE THINGS START. ORSINO I'D SAY HELLO. VIOLA HELLO. ORSINO HOW ARE YOU? VIOLA STILL SAD, MY LORD. AND YOU? ORSINO I'M WELL. WELL, NO. FOR TRUTH TO TELL, MY HEART IS WRACKED BY LOVE THAT GROWS DEEPER DAY BY DAY AND FILLS ME WITH SUCH FEELINGS... - BUT I'D RATHER HEAR ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS VIOLA Good. (sings) HOW IT HAPPENS WHO COULD EVER TEACH? ORSINO TWO BEGIN A TUNE, VIOLA AND ORSINO AND SOON THEY EACH FIND THEIR OWN PART. IMPROVISE IN RHYME, MAKING SONG IN PERFECT TIME. ORSINO THEN IT STARTS. VIOLA THEN IT STARTS. VIOLA AND ORSINO WHO KNOWS HOW? VIOLA WHO KNOWS WHY? ORSINO WHO KNOWS WHEN? BUT IT STARTS... VIOLA MAYBE NOW... ORSINO NOW, I SEE I'VE BEEN UNWISE, AND ALL THE WHILE YOUR EYES SAW THROUGH ME, THEY SAW RIGHT THROUGH ME TO HOW MY FOOLISHNESS WAS FEAR OF LETTING YOU COME NEARER TO ME. YES, I TRIED MY BEST TO HIDE MY HEART AWAY, BUT YOU ALWAYS KNEW ME. (speaks) What would she say to that? VIOLA Who? ORSINO Olivia, of course. VIOLA Oh. I'm sure she would receive it well, my Lord. ORSINO Don't flatter me, Sebastian. I know I haven't the gift for this kind of talk. VIOLA No, you spoke very well. ORSINO With your guidance, perhaps. Left to my own devices, I would no doubt fare miserably. But you, you have such a delicacy in your manner, Sebastian. I know she would be pleased by it. You will go to the Lady Olivia and plead my suit to her. VIOLA Oh, no my Lord, I don't think that would work. It is your heart that must plead - ORSINO You know it better than I do myself. This afternoon you will go to her and play this same scene that we have rehearsed. VIOLA But, my Lord - ORSINO Go to it, then. VIOLA I'll do my best to win your lady. (sings) SOMETHING HAPPENS, QUICKER THAN A WINK, SUDDEN, BUT SUBLIME. NO TIME TO THINK WHETHER IT'S SMART, NO WAY FOR YOU TO TELL IF IT ALL WILL TURN OUT WELL. BUT THAT'S HOW THESE THINGS START. [Thanks to Sara for lyrics]
