(Barbara) Tale as old as time, true as it can be.
Barely even friends, then somebody bends
unexpectedly.

(Brad) Just a little change. Small, to say the least.
Both a little scared, neither one prepared.

(Both) Beauty and the Beast.

Ever just the same. Ever a surprise.
Ever as before, ever just as sure
as the sun will rise.

(Barbara) Tale as old as time.

(Brad) Tune as old as song.

(Both) Bittersweet and strange, finding you can change,
learning you were wrong.

(Brad) Certain as the sun.
(Barbara) Certain as the sun.
(Brad) Rising in the East.
(Barbara) Tale as old as time.
(Brad) Song as old as rhyme.
(Both) Beauty and the Beast.

(Barbara) Tale as old as time.
(Brad) Song as old as rhyme.
(Both) Beauty and the Beast.
