Tale as old as time
True as it could be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scarred
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
The songwriting here is so genius.
I'm obsessed.
The way that every line is five syllables.
The way that every stanza has the same rhyme scheme.
The way that all of the rhymes are perfect rhymes. #noslantsallowed
The way that the lyrics are so simple, but tell such a complete story of character growth.
This is songwriting GOALS.
God bless the gay that gave this to us.
May he rest in peace.
But yes, there is still time!
