Medley: Foolish Heart / This Is New / Speak Low
[Part I: Foolish Heart]
[VENUS]
Love shouldn't be serious, or should it?
You meet, perhaps you kiss, you start
I fancied that I understood it
I forgot my foolish heart
Love can't be illogical, can it?
You kiss, perhaps you smile, you part
It happens the way that you plan it
If you hush your foolish heart
Poor foolish heart
Crying for one who ignores you
Poor foolish heart
Flying from one who adores you
Ah, love used to touch me so lightly
Why will my heart betray me so?
I would dance with a new lover nightly
But my foolish heart says
[Part II: This Is New]
[RANDY]
This is new
I was merely existing
This is new
And I'm living at last
Head to toe
You've got me so I'm spellbound
I don't know
If I am heaven- or hell-bound
This is new
Is it Venus insisting
That I'm through
With the shadowy past?
I am hurled
Up to another world
Where life is bliss
And this Is new
[Part III: Speak Low]
[VENUS]
Speak low, when you speak love
Our summer day
Withers away
Too soon, too soon
Speak low, when you speak love
Our moment is swift
Like ships adrift
We're swept apart too soon
Speak low, darling, speak low
Love is a spark
Lost in the dark
Too soon, too soon
I feel wherever I go
That tomorrow is near
Tomorrow is here
And always too soon
Time is so old
And love so brief
Love is pure gold
And time a thief
We're late, darling, we're late
The curtain descends
Everything ends
Too soon, too soon
I wait, darling, I wait
Will you speak low to me
Speak love to me
And soon?
