[Verse 1]
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly

[Chorus]
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast

[Bridge]
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
And ever just as sure
As the sun will rise, oh

Ever just the same
And ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
Oh–
[Verse 2]
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bitter-sweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong

[Chorus]
Certain as the sun
(Certain as the sun)
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast

[Outro]
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast
