"For The First Time In Forever" Lyric Scavenger Hunt

(with Kristen Bell)

[Anna:]
The window is open, so's that door
I didn't know they did that anymore
_____ knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?
For years I've roamed these empty halls
_____ have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally they're opening up the gates
There'll be actual real live people
It'll be totally strange
But wow, am I so ready for this change!
'Cause for the first time in forever
There'll be music, there'll be light
For the first time in forever
I'll be dancing through the night
Don't know if I'm elated or gassy
But I'm somewhere in that zone
'Cause for the first time in forever
I won't be alone
I can't wait to meet everyone! [gasp]
____ if I meet... the one?
Tonight imagine me gown and all
Fetchingly draped against the wall
The picture of sophisticated grace
I suddenly see him standing there
A beautiful stranger, tall and fair
I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face

But then we laugh and talk all evening,

____ is totally bizarre
Nothing like the life I've led so far
For the first time in forever
There'll be magic, there'll be fun
For the first time in forever
I could be noticed by someone
And I know it is totally crazy
To dream I'd find romance
But for the first time in forever
At least I've got a chance

[Elsa:]
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, put on a show
Make one wrong move and everyone will know
[Elsa:] But it's only for today
[Anna:] It's only for today
[Elsa:] It's agony to wait
[Anna:] It's agony to wait
[Elsa:] Tell the guards to open up the gate
[Anna:] The gate
[Anna:] For the first time in forever
[Elsa:] Don't let them in, don't let them see
[Anna:] I'm getting what I'm dreaming of
[Elsa:] Be the good girl you always have to be
[Anna:] A chance to change my lonely world
[Elsa:] Conceal
[Anna:] A chance to find true love
[Elsa:] Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
[Anna:]
I know it all ends tomorrow,
So it has to be today
'Cause for the first time in forever
For the first time in forever
Nothing's in my way!
