Beauty and the Beast
Robyn Arthur Lyrics

Tale as old as time
The story is one that has been told countless times

True as it can be
The story may be predictable, but its message is classic and unwavering

Barely even friends
The relationship between two people starts off as casual and distant

Then somebody bends
Suddenly, one person shows interest and decides to go out of their way to pursue a connection

Unexpectedly
The transition from friendship to romance comes as a surprise for both parties

Just a little change
It only takes a small shift in perspective or action to make a big impact

Small to say the least
The transformation appears minor, but it actually carries a lot of weight

Both a little scared
Taking a risk in love is never easy, and both people feel a sense of fear and vulnerability

Neither one prepared
Despite their preparations, nobody is ever truly ready for the unpredictable nature of love

Beauty and the Beast
This is not only a story of romantic love, but also of inner beauty and the power of transformation

Dance with me?
A gesture to connect with someone on a deeper level and embrace the moment together

No, I...
An initial reluctance or fear to let someone in and be vulnerable

Dance with her!
Encouragement from others to take a chance and see where it leads

Ever just the same
The struggle with personal flaws and maintaining authenticity while also striving to be better

Ever a surprise
In life, there are always unexpected twists and turns that shape who we become

Ever as before
Despite the surprises, some aspects of life remain constant and unchanging

And ever just as sure
Throughout life's ups and downs, there are things we can always count on to remain true

As the sun will rise
A symbol of hope and renewal in the face of adversity

Tune as old as song
The emotions and experiences conveyed through the story are universal and timeless

Bittersweet and strange
The experience of love can be both beautiful and painful, and it can also be difficult to navigate

Finding you can change
Through love and personal growth, each person has the opportunity to transform and become their best self

Learning you were wrong
Part of growth is recognizing and correcting past mistakes

Certain as the sun
There are some things in life that are guaranteed, and the power of love is one of them

Rising in the east
A reminder that new beginnings are always on the horizon

Song as old as rhyme
The beauty of the story and the power of love are conveyed through many different mediums, including music
