[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 [Belle, spoken] Dance with me? [Beast, spoken] No, I... [Lumiere & Cogsworth, spoken] Dance with her! [Mrs. Potts] Ever just the same
Ever a surprise Ever as before And 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
