Twelfth Night (Original Public Works Cast Recording)
Viola's Soliloquy - 2nd Reprise
Sebastian (My eyes are playing tricks on me)
Is it really you? (It can't be true, you drowned, or did I?)
(Is this where you go when you die?)
Sebastian, it's me
Viola
(Viola?!)
Our mother had a birthmark on her shoulder
And our dad died when we were thirteen
We grew up in a house by the bay in Messaline
Viola!
I never thought this would be —
Wait, why are you dressed like me?
I thought I lost you
And I was lost, too
So I wore your shoes
And they made me strong
But now that you're found
I think I've been here all along because
Maybe the man I tried to be
Is the girl I always was
So disguise, you were the devil's blessing
You turned a mirror back at me
And for the first time, I think I like what I see
Now I can put you back on the shelf
And change into myself
Is it really you? (It can't be true, you drowned, or did I?)
(Is this where you go when you die?)
Sebastian, it's me
Viola
(Viola?!)
Our mother had a birthmark on her shoulder
And our dad died when we were thirteen
We grew up in a house by the bay in Messaline
Viola!
I never thought this would be —
Wait, why are you dressed like me?
I thought I lost you
And I was lost, too
So I wore your shoes
And they made me strong
But now that you're found
I think I've been here all along because
Maybe the man I tried to be
Is the girl I always was
So disguise, you were the devil's blessing
You turned a mirror back at me
And for the first time, I think I like what I see
Now I can put you back on the shelf
And change into myself
