The window is open, so's that door

I didn't know they did that anymore

Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?

For years, I've roamed these empty halls

Why 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

[ANNA, spoken]

I can't wait to meet everyone

What if I meet "the one"?

[ANNA]

Tonight, imagine me, gown and all

Fetchingly draped against the wall

The picture of sophisticated grace (Ooh)

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

Which 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 & ANNA]

But it's only for today (It's only for today)

It's agony to wait (It's agony to wait)

Tell the guards to open up the gate (The gate)

[ANNA & ELSA]

For the first time in forever (Don't let them in, don't let them see)

I'm getting what I'm dreaming of (Be the good girl you always have to be)

A chance to change my lonely world (Conceal)

A chance to find true love (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 (Ooh!)
