This Is New
[RANDY]
With you I used to roam
Through the pleasure dome of Kubla Khan
I held you tight, my love
In the gardens of old Babylon
I lost you through the centuries
I find you once again
And find myself the luckiest of men

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
[LIZA]
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

[Dance.]

[RANDY]
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
[ENSEMBLE]
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

[LIZA]
Hmm
Hmm

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
Go on!

[LIZA, spoken]
I can't remember any more. 

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
What's worrying you, Liza?

[LIZA, spoken]
I don't know. 

[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
What are you afraid of?
You should be happy. 

(sung)
Every woman wants to be married
And this is the eve of your wedding day
What are you thinking of?
[LIZA, spoken]
How curious! How very curious! Of all the things I could be thinking of at this moment, a little school play I acted in as a child keeps running through my mind. I was to have been the princess, but I wasn't. I can't remember why now. 

[ENSEMBLE]
We are listening

[LIZA, spoken]
It was called "The Princess of Pure Delight."
