For the First Time in Forever

"**For the First Time in Forever**" is a song written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, and sung by Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) in the 2013 Disney animated film, *Frozen*.

During the song, Anna wakes up in order to prepare for Elsa's Coronation Day. After being isolated inside the walls of Arendelle castle for so long, Anna finds herself excited to meet new people and has the hope of finding true love. Meanwhile, Elsa is worried about her powers being revealed during the coronation. She prepares herself in the library in front of a picture of her father at his own coronation.

## Lyrics

**Anna:** It's coronation day! *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*

*I can't wait to meet everyone!*

*What 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*

*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*

*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!*

*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!*
