Whoever You Are

Whoever You Are Lyrics

Whoever You Are Song Lyrics

---

ORSINO
THERE YOU ARE,
THE ONE THAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
FORGIVE ME IF I NEVER LET YOU GO AGAIN.
STAY WITH ME.
THERE'S SO MUCH WE CAN TALK ABOUT...
JUST WE MEN

YOU,
WHOEVER YOU ARE,
YOU ARE A MYSTERY.
WHAT BROUGHT YOU HERE TO ME?
SOME LUCKY STAR?
AND WHY DO I FIND
I CAN SPEAK MY MIND TO YOU
AND ONLY YOU,
WHOEVER YOU ARE?

SEBASTIAN
I beg your pardon. I am Sebastian, my Lord.

ORSINO
And I am Orsino - and so you shall call me from now on. For, though my title gives me dominion of this land and its people,
as kindred spirits you and I stand as equals.

SEBASTIAN
You misunderstand. I came here to be your servant.

ORSINO
So it was when you came. But you are so much more than that, Sebastian.
(sings)
LOOK AT YOU -
YOU'RE NOTHING LIKE I THOUGHT YOU'D BE.
YOU'RE NOT SOME FAIRY PRINCESS FROM A TALE OR SONG.
COULD IT BE
THE ONE THAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
ALL ALONG

IS YOU,
WHOEVER YOU ARE?
IT ISN'T HARD TO TELL.
WE GET ALONG SO WELL,
AT LEAST SO FAR.
I'M WILLING TO BET
THAT THE BEST IS YET TO BE
FOR YOU AND ME,
WHOEVER YOU ARE.

YOU WALKED IN THAT DOOR,
FOUND ME ALL ALONE,
BUT YOU BROUGHT A CHARM INTO MY LIFE.
I'M ASKING FOR MORE.
I NEED YOU FOR MY OWN.
SEBASTIAN, BE MY WIFE -
OR WHATEVER YOU'D BE.
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I NEED YOU?
(speaks)
Take this ring - no, please. You don't have to wear it. But for all you've given me, let me give this one small thing back
to you. A token -

SEBASTIAN
I must go. I am expected at the Countess Olivia's.

ORSINO
I don't want you to go to her. Stay with me. I order you.

SEBASTIAN
I am not your servant. Nor do I want to be anymore.

ORSINO
Alas - it's true. How can I have rule over someone to whom I have given my heart? But when will you come back, Sebastian?

SEBASTIAN
Never.

ORSINO
Sebastian!
(sings)
THERE YOU GO,
NEVER TO RETURN TO ME.
I HADN'T THOUGHT THAT
YOU WOULD BE LIKE HER.
BUT THERE YOU GO,
WHOEVER YOU WERE.
