Prologue
Lyricist:Andrew Lloyd-webber, Tim Rice
Once upon a time, in a far away land A young Prince lived in a shining castle Although he had everything his heart desired The Prince was spoiled, selfish and unkind
But then, one winter's night An old beggar woman came to the castle And offered him a single rose In return for shelter from the bitter cold
Repulsed by her haggard appearance The Prince sneered at the Gift And turned the old woman away
But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances For Beauty is found within And when he dismissed her again The old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress
The prince tried to apologize But it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast And placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there
Ashamed of his monstrous form The beast concealed himself inside his castle With a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world
The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose Which would bloom until his twenty-first year
If he could learn to love another And earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell Then the spell would be broken
If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time
As the years passed He fell into despair and lost all hope
For who could ever learn to love a beast
