Beauty and the Beast
Alan Menken feat. Angela Lansbury Lyrics

Tale as old as time
This story has been repeated time and time again throughout history.

True as it can be
It's a story that has always had a consistent theme and message.

Barely even friends
The two characters in this story have just met and barely know each other.

Then somebody bends
Suddenly, one of them decides to change their mindset or perspective.

Unexpectedly.
The shift in mindset or perspective comes as a surprise to both characters.

Just a little change
The shift in mindset or perspective is not a big one, but it's enough to make a difference.

Small to say the least
The change is minuscule, but still impactful.

Both a little scared
Both characters are nervous about what this change might mean or how it will affect their relationship.

Neither one prepared
Neither character was expecting to go through this change in mindset or perspective.

Beauty and the Beast
This story is about a beautiful, kind woman and a beastly, misunderstood man.

Ever just the same
This story has a consistent theme that never wavers or changes.

Ever a surprise
Despite the consistent theme, there are always surprising twists and turns in the story.

Ever as before
The story always remains true to its original version, even when adapted over time.

Ever just as sure
The message and theme of the story are unwavering and steadfast.

As the sun will rise
Just like the rising of the sun every day, this story will always be timeless and relevant.

Tune as old as song
The melody and musical composition of this story have been around as long as the storyline itself.

Bittersweet and strange
The story evokes feelings of both sadness and happiness, and some of the plot points are unusual or unexpected.

Finding you can change
The story centers around the idea that change is possible and can be a positive thing.

Learning you were wrong
The characters in the story come to the realization that they were both mistaken in their perspectives or beliefs.

Certain as the sun
Just like the rising sun, the outcome of this story is inevitable and unchanging.

Rising in the east
The story's outcome will be positive and uplifting.

Song as old as rhyme
Not only is the storyline familiar, but the musical elements and lyrics have been around as long as the story has.

Beauty and the Beast
A tale of two unlikely characters who come together and find acceptance, love, and understanding.
