ever just as sure as the sun will rise

[jeweledhibiscus]

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.

You say I took the Name in vain,
but I don't even know the Name,
and if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word;
it doesn't matter which you heard-
the holy or the broken Hallelujah.

I did my best; it wasn't much.
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch.
I've told the truth; I didn't come to fool you.
And even though it all went wrong,
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
with nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah.
