Album: If/Then: A New Musical (2014)Surprise[Crowd:]
Hey, hey, ain't it some surprise?
How the years will slip on past you
How the time just flies
Then behold, you're older, bolder and
Much wiser than before
Ain't that some surprise
[Anne:]
They're at the door!
[Crowd:]
Surprise!
[Lucas:]
If you're not drinking
Then something's new
[Liz:]
It's nothing really
I can't tell you
[Lucas:]
You're on the wagon
Or else
Oh jeez
[Liz:]
Keep your voice down
Lucas, please
[David:]
You haven't told Josh?
[Liz:]
Don't know what to say
[Lucas:]
You better think quick then,
He's minutes away
[Liz:]
There's too many people
And that's just as well
[David:]
Um, Josh is a doctor
They can often tell
[Liz:]
Oh, hell
Hey, um, thanks for the surprise!
Let's go party on therooftop
Underneath the skies
[David:]
Move in with me. Officially.
[Lucas:]
It just seems so traditional
[David:]
Hey, hey, ain't it some surprise?
Babe, you're in a real-life couple
Try that on for size
You can fear it, dear, it's clear it's not
About to go away
Ain't that some surprise?
[Lucas:]
Ain't this some surprise,
it feels okay
[David:]
Well, hey
[Beth:]
No more surprises
No men to kiss
I might want children
But not like this
He thinks he loves me
And I know it's not true
No more surprises
God, what to do?
[Elena:]
What do you want right now?
[Beth:]
I want that job.
I want to give it everything I have
[Elena:]
No more surprises
Your life's on track
[Beth:]
I'm moving forward
I won't go back
[Elena:]
So let your heart win
And let the doubt be gone
[Elena & Beth:]
No more surprises
[Beth:]
I'm moving on
[Josh:]
Liz! So sorry I'm late
I missed the surprise, didn't I?
[Liz:]
Not entirely
I'm pregnant
[Josh:]
Wow, wow, that is some surprise
[Liz:]
Yeah, your teeny-tiny swimmers
They're determined little guys
[Josh:]
It could be that we should see this through
It might mean that – it might
[Liz:]
It's just such a surprise
[Josh:]
It still feels right
[Anne:]
I think she told him
[Kate:]
I think she did. Marry me
[Anne:]
What?
[Kate:]
Hey hey ain't it some surprise
After all this time together
I look into your eyes
[Kate & Anne:]
And I see what we can be if we
Step up and say “I do.”
Ain't it some surprise?
[Anne:]
I do love you
[Kate:]
And I love you
[Partygoers:]
Hey – hey – ain't it some surprise
Hey – hey – ain't it some surprise
Hey – hey – ain't it some
Hey – hey – ain't it some
Hey – hey – ain't it some
[Elizabeth (The Rest):]
At thirty-nine, ev'rything changes
(surprise! Surprise!)
I'm older but hardly more wise
(Hey, hey ain't it some surprise)
And just when you think you're on course
(Hey, hey ain't it some surprise)
The sea starts to rise
(Hey, hey ain't it some)
And from clear blue skies
(Hey, hey ain't it some)
[Lucas:]
Marry me
[Josh:]
Marry me
[Elizabeth:]
Surprise!
[All:]
Surprise!
