The window is open, so's that door! I didn't know they did that anymore
Who knew we owned a 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
Cuz 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
I don't know if I'm elated or gassy
But I'm somewhere in that zone
Cuz for the first time in forever
I won't be alone!
7 am the usual morning lineup
Start on the chores and sweep til the floors all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry and mop and shine up
Sweep again and by then it's like 7:15
And so I'll read a book or maybe 2 or 3
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar, and knit
and cook and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin
Tonight, imagine me suit and all, fetchingly draped against the wall
Then after lunch it's puzzles and dart and baking
The picture of sophisticated grace
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
I suddenly see her standing there, a beautiful stranger tall and fair
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle-making
I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face
Take a climb, sew a dress!
And for the first time in forever (and I'll reread the books, if I have time to spare)
There'll be magic, there'll be fun (I'll paint the walls some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere)
For the first time in forever (and then I'll brush and brush and brush and brush my hair)
I could be noticed by someone (Stuck in the same place I've always been)
And I know it is totally crazy, to dream I'd find romance
Oh, heh
But for the first time in forever, at least I've got a chance
Tomorrow night
The lights will appear
Just like they do on my birthday each year
What is it like
Out there where they glow
Now that I'm older, Mother might just let me go
Just smell the grass, the dirt, just like I dreamed they'd be
Just feel that summer breeze, the way it's calling me
And for the first time in forever
I'm getting what I'm dreaming of
A chance to change my lonely world, a chance to find true love
I could go running and racing
And dancing and chasing
And leaping and bounding
Hair flying, heart pounding
And splashing and reeling, and finally feeling
That's when my life begins
For the first time in forever!
