For a Moment
[Melody]
Ok, get a grip, get the hang of this flipper
It's like slipping two feet into one big, huge slipper
This way left, but which is right?
Well now I'll be circling in circles all night

[Melody, spoken]
Oh, so this is forward? No problem

I can't believe I can do this and more
To swim in the sea like I walk on the shore
Out of my shell, not closed up like a clam
Look out sea
This is me
Here I am!

For a moment all of me
Is alive and at home in the sea
I'm swirling and twirling so graceful and grand
Not stubbing my toes, getting stuck in the sand

For a moment life is cool
I'm a splash in the world's biggest pool
This is more than my thoughts ever thought it could be
For a moment, just a moment, lucky me
[Ariel]
If only for one moment
I had shared with you all I know
The sea wouldn't be a mystery
Oh why did you have to go?

[Melody]
Everything's newer
And brighter and bluer
And truer to life than before
Watch me soar!

For a moment I can shine
Got a grin and a fin that works fine
My fingers are wrinkly and I really don't care
If all the curls have curled out of my hair

For a moment I can feel
All the dreams I've been dreaming are real
Wish my mother could hear it
The sea is my song
For a moment, just a moment I belong

[Ariel]
I will find you, my darling
And the moment that I do
I'll hold you close, my Melody
And sing the song of the sea
With you
Sing the song of the sea with you
[Melody and Ariel]
For a moment, just a moment
I belong
