“Beauty and the Beast” is the title track of the 1991 Disney animated film Beauty and the Beast. Mrs. Potts sings it during the scene where Belle and the Beast dance in the ballroom of the castle. Lyrically, the song speaks on the budding romance between the couple.
[MRS. POTT]
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
(spoken)
Off to the cupboard with you now, Chip. It's past your bedtime. Goodnight, love
