Description
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
"Off to the cupboard with you now, Chip. It's past your bedtime. Goodnight, love."
No surprise Angela Lansbury nailed this whole thing in a single take. She was simply that good, in both voice and music. You didn't get much better than her.
Emma Thompson, with all due respect, came nowhere close. The 2017 waltz was nice enough in its own way, but far from spectacular. I'm still partial to 1991. Goes to show some things don't need a second take. They just don't.
And now there's only one slot to go. I made sure to pick a good one!
