Beauty and the Beast

Vocal composed by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman, performed by Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts.


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

Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
