"Take Me As I Am" from Jekyll and Hyde
from the musical "Jekyll and Hyde"
by Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse
Jekyll- Sometimes I see
(Sonny) Past the horizon
Sure of my way
Where I am going. . .
But where's the prize
I have my eyes on?
Where? There is just no knowing!
And when despair tears me in two
Who can I turn to but you?
You know who I am. . .
Take me as I am. . .
Emma- Look in my eyes
(Brenda) Who do you see there?
Someone you know?
Or just a stranger?
If you are wise
You will see me there
Love. . .is the only danger!
Love. . .meaning me
Love. . .meaning you
We'll make our one dream come true!
You know who I am. . .
Take me as I am!
Both- Though fate won't always do what we desire
Still we can set the world on fire!
Give me your hand. . .
Give me your heart. . .
Jekyll- Swear to me we'll never part
You know who I am. . .
Emma- You know who I am. . .
Jekyll- This is who I am!
Emma- This is who I am!
Both- Take me as I am!
