基本上，歌詞是依照迪士尼動畫電影《Beauty and the Beast》（美女與野獸）的故事劇情寫的，是迪士尼第30部動畫，也是其中的經典作品。

故事改編自一個古老的法國神話，敘述在一個被施魔咒的古堡裡，一位王子因不懂得慈悲與寬容而被仙女變為野獸，唯有他學會如何愛人才能變回原貌，後來美女“貝兒”為救父親而答應被野獸囚禁，在一群魔堡僕役的穿針引線之下，美女與野獸從針鋒相對到相知相守，經歷一番波折之後，最後終於解開魔法的桎梏。

Beauty And The Beast

（Celine Dion & Peabo Bryson）

Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Than somebody bends
Unexpectedly
Just a little change
Small, to say the beast
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 raise
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
