Is This Not Love? Lyrics by Shaina Taub

Twelfth Night (Original Public Works Cast Recording)

2018

[FESTE]
I can tell you anything, my friend
Except how I feel about you
'cause I know you don’t return it
Though ain’t it obvious, my friend
I’m not myself around you
But I like who I am turning into
‘cause I'm missing parts of me
But when I’m with you, I feel put back together
And I know I shouldn’t say it
But baby, why don’t you see it?
Is this not love?
Is this not love that I feel for you?
Do you feel it too?
Is this not love?
Is this not love that we’re feeling?
Is this not love?
[ORSINO, spoken]
Once more, Cesario
Get thee to yon same sovereign cruelty
Tell her my love
[VIOLA, spoken]
But if she cannot love you, sir?
[ORSINO, spoken]
I cannot be so answered
[FESTE]
I’m despondence dressed like confidence
A lamb in lion’s clothes
I wanna hold you so bad
And I’m not the one you chose
But sometimes your eyes catch mine
And I dare think it
Oh I think you know it
Is this not love?
Is this not love that I feel for you?
Do you feel it too?
Is this not love?
Is this not love that we’re feeling?
Is this not love?
[VIOLA, spoken]
Say that some lady, as perhaps there is
Hath for your love as great a pang of heart
As you have for Olivia: you cannot love her;
You tell her so; must she not then be answered?
[ORSINO, spoken]
Make no compare
Between that love a woman can bear me
And that I owe Olivia
[VIOLA, spoken]
Ay, but I know--
[ORSINO, spoken]
What dost thou know?
[VIOLA, spoken]
Too well what love women to men may owe:
In faith, they are as true of heart as we
My father had a daughter loved a man
As it might be, perhaps, were I woman
I should your lordship
[ORSINO, spoken]
And what’s her history?
[VIOLA, spoken]
She never told her love
She pined in thought
And with a green and yellow melancholy
She sat like patience on a monument
Smiling at grief
Was not this love indeed?
[ORSINO, spoken]
But died thy sister of her love, my boy?
[VIOLA, spoken]
I know not
[FESTE]
Will I die without saying a thing?
Will I wait here for years silently?
Or will I risk it all
Lay bare my heart
And say it baby
Oh, I gotta say it baby
Is this not love?
Is this not love that I feel for you?
Oh, I know you feel it too
Is this not love?
Is this not love that we’re feeling
We’re feeling
I know we’re feeling it, yeah
Is this not love?
Is this not love?
Is this not love?
Is this not
[VIOLA, spoken]
Sir, shall I to this lady?
[ORSINO, spoken]
To her in haste
Give her this jewel
(Exit VIOLA)
[ORSINO, spoken]
(offering a coin to the FESTE)
There's for thy pains
[FESTE, spoken]
(Refusing the coin)
No pains, sir. I take pleasure in it
