The first song that we wrote for a Disney animated feature that had a life of its own outside of the project was [F] Beauty and the Beast.
[G]
I'll never forget when I first heard Peebo Bryson and Celine Dion's voices on that song.
[F] It's a moment for me that [Gm] will live forever.
[G]
[F] There's [G] so much time, [F] true [G] as it can be, [F] barely [Am] even
[C] [A#] [G] unexpectedly,
[D] just [G] a little change.
[D] Small to [A] say the least, both a little [G] scarce, [D] neither one [Em] prepared, Beauty and the Beast.
Beauty and the Beast, [F#m] there's a lot of challenges.
One challenge was a personal challenge of [B] writing something while your collaborator's dying.
And it was sung by Howard Ashman, it's the [Em] best, most inspired work.
Ever as before, [D] and ever just [Bm] as sure [A] as the sun.
[C] [E]
[Bm] Howard was the [D] most complete musical theatre talent I ever [Bm] experienced.

[F#m] [G]
[F#m] [Bm] as [D] the [C] sun.

[G] There is [C] so much time.
[G] [C]
[G] I don't think that Alan Mink's music has [D#] any limitations.
[Em] It reaches all audiences of all cultures.
[G] It transcends everything.
That's part of the Disney magic [E] too, I think.
Certain as the sun.
Rising [Bm] in the east.
[E] Strong as old [F#m] as time.
Beauty and [E] the [B] [C#m] Beast.
Beauty and the Beast opened all the doors for me.
It started my [E] career.
