Kurt Weill
This Is New
[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
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
