[Verse 1: Celine Dion]
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
[Verse 2: Peabo Bryson]
Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
[Both:] Beauty and the Beast
[Verse 3: Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson]
Ever just the same
Ever a surprise
Ever as before
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Celine and Peabo]
[Verse 4: Celine and Peabo]
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change
Learning you were wrong
[Verse 5: Peabo (and Celine)]
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
(Tale as old as time)
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
[Outro: Peabo and Celine]
Oh, oh, whoa
Ooh
Beauty and the beast
