(Menken, Ashman)

from "Disney Mania" album


Tale as old as time,

True as it can be.

Barely even friends,

Then somebody bends

Unexpectedly.


Just a little change,

Small, to say the least.

Both a little scared,

Neither one prepared,

Beauty and the Beast


Ever just the same.

Ever a surprise.

Ever as before,

Ever just as sure

As the sun will rise.


Tale as old as time

Tune as old as song.

Bittersweet and strange,

Finding you can change,

Learning you were wrong.


Certain as the sun

Rising in the East.

Tale as old as time,

Song as old as rhyme.

Beauty and the Beast.


Ever just the same.

Ever a surprise.

Ever as before,

Ever just as sure

As the sun will rise.


Certain as the sun

Rising in the East.

Tale as old as time,

Song as old as rhyme.

Beauty and the Beast.
