Beauty and the Beast (Tale as Old as Time) (Beauty and the Beast) Lyrics

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

I think this song is about falling in love with someone who you have been an acquaintance with for quite a while and perhaps you did not have positive feelings towards this person originally but everything changes suddenly. The sudden feelings you have towards this person are so strong and sure that you can't believe you didn't see it before. Such a beautiful song.
