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

Ever as before

Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 4: Céline Dion & Peabo Bryson & Together]
Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song
Bittersweet and strange
Finding you can change

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: Céline Dion & Peabo Bryson & Together]
Oh, oh, whoa
Ooh
