Beauty and the Beast
Beauty & The Beast Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
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
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme

Emma, you are the greatest actress,
Emma, there are Hollywood stars, but you are the moon of Hollywood,
you are (Hermione), the cleverwitch,
you are (Belle), the princess of women in the world,
you are the (mag). The beautiful girl,
every character she represents resembles her.
I love you very, very much🥺❤️

I miss seeing her in a new character🥹💔
