This Is New

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

Ooh

Ah

Go on

I can't remember any more

What's worrying you, Liza?

I don't know

What are you afraid of?

You should be happy

Every woman wants to be married

And this is the eve of your wedding day

What are you thinking of?

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 don't remember why

We are listening

It was called "The Princess of Pure Delight"
