[Lyric] The World Fell In Love (Diana Original Broadway Cast)

[DIANA, spoken]
Our first official appearance?

[QUEEN ELIZABETH II]
A week on Sunday, yes

[DIANA]
And you're certain I’m ready?

[QUEEN ELIZABETH II]
Now, now, it's all set. We shall present you in Wales

[DIANA]
But what exactly will be expected of me?

[CHARLES, sung]
All will be fine, just move down the line

[QUEEN ELIZABETH II]
Excessive display of emotion is rude
[CHARLES]
Show your smile

[QUEEN ELIZABETH II]
But just for a while

[DIANA, spoken]
I've never been so nervous

[CHARLES, sung]
Never let any feelings intrude

[QUEEN ELIZABETH II]
So go with Windsor fortitude

[ENSEMBLE]
Came out here to bitch and gripe;
Guarantee she ain’t my type
Ain't no way she'll match the hype

[ENSEMBLE SOLOIST 1]
I don't know, she seems real nice...

[ENSEMBLE]
Want to bet she's cold as ice?
[ENSEMBLE SOLOIST 2]
Let's go home!

[ENSEMBLE SOLOIST 3]
That's good advice

[CHARLES, spoken]
Now then, do you remember the Welsh lesson I gave you?

[DIANA]
Not a word
Um... hello
Um... I'm Diana
[sung] I hardly know what I’m doing;
I’m just glad to be with you
Sharing handshakes, hearing stories...

[ENSEMBLE SOLOIST 4]
What a lovely thing to do

[DIANA]
But I'm truly no one special;
In fact, I’m less than what I seem

[ENSEMBLE SOLOIST 4]
Years of royals
[ENSEMBLE SOLOIST 5]
So standoffish

[ENSEMBLE SOLOIST 5]
Who'd have thought?

[ENSEMBLE]
Something new...
Over here, Princess Di
I want to catch your eye!
Take this rose, this bouquet;
Diana, make my day!
Won't you please take my hand?
I am now your biggest fan!
With no bother and no fuss
It's like she’s one of us!
Pretty as we've ever seen
Like a living magazine;
We'll be proud to call you "Queen"
Oh, oh, oh, oh...

[CHARLES]
And just like that
They fell in love
All of Wales
They fell in love
And with joy [joined by overlapping ENSEMBLE] undreamed of
All of Wales
They fell in love

[CAMILLA, spoken]
Her press coverage is extraordinary
[sung] She hardly knows what she's doing
But she does it awfully well

[CHARLES]
She's a natural

[CAMILLA]
They adore her

[CHARLES, spoken]
As for me?

[CAMILLA]
Hard to tell...

[DIANA]
I was wondering if some of you might say hello to my husband; he adores Wales!

[CHARLES, sung]
I was crowned in this country;
How that day lives in me
Here I flourished, here my heart lies
Here in Wales, I feel most free...

[ENSEMBLE]
Charlie, thanks for all you do;
But right now, you're blocking our view
Step aside, let the lady through!

[CHARLES]
I learned their language, served their country

[ENSEMBLE]
Over here, Princess Di!

[CHARLES]
Loved my subjects, played my part

[ENSEMBLE]
I want to catch your eye!

[CHARLES, overlapping with vocalizing ENSEMBLE]
Then a preschool helper with no training
Steals away their heart...

[ENSEMBLE]
And the world... (the whole world...)
We fell in love!
