No Matter What
Tom Bosley & Susan Egan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true
No matter what they call us
However they attack
We'll find our own way back
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know no matter what
If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say
[Chorus]
And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born
No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what!

No matter what you do
I'm on your side
And if my point of view Is somewhat misty-eyed
There's nothing clearer in my life
Than what I wish and feel for you
And that's a lot...
No matter what
Belle
No matter what they say
You make me proud I love the funny way
You stand out from the crowd
Maurice
It's my intention my invention
Shows the world out there one day
Just what we've got...
Belle
No matter what
Maurice
Now some may say all fathers just exaggerate
Belle
That ev'ry daughter's great?
Maurice
You are!
Belle
And ev'ry daughter tends to say her father's tops
Maurice
She pulls out all the stops
To praise him
Belle
And quite rightly!
Maurice
No matter what the pain
We've come this far I pray that you remain
Exactly as you are
This really is a case of father knowing best
Belle
And daughter too!
Maurice
You're never strange
Belle
Don't ever change
Both
You've all I've got
No matter what.

He was, in my humble opinion, the perfect choice for Maurice. He conveyed that eccentricity and paternal love so perfectly.
@katherinecreamer4480
Absolutely correct
@JordanVanRyn
This was the first musical I went to see as a kid. Is it ironic that I'm watching this on Father's day?
@disneydanny2
this was my first show I got to see on Broadway back in 2000 when Andrea McArdle was playing Belle. seeing the show again omorrow in San Francisco.
@KingdomHeartsFan3211

@nicholianazare

@hubbletrubble7875
I can't tell if that's a pun or not
I'd hope it's a pun

I guess Megara portrays Lady Belle on the side.
