(From Beauty and the Beast/Score)
Then one night
An unexpected intruder arrived to the castle
Seeking shelter in the bitter storm
As a gift she offered the prince a single rose
Repulsed by her haggard appearance
The prince turned the woman away
But she want him not to be deceived by appearances
For beauty is found within
When he dismiss her again
The old woman outer appearance melted away
To reveal a beautiful enchantress
The prince begged for forgiveness
But it was too late
For she has seen that there's no love in his heart
As punishment
She transformed him into a hideous beast
And placed a powerful spell
On the castle and all who lived there
As day blend into years
The prince and his servants were forgotten by the world
For the enchantress has erased all
Memory of them
From the minds of the people they love
But the rose she has offered was truly and enchanted rose
If he could learn to love another
And earn the love in return
By the time the last petal fell
The spell would be broken
If not he would be doom to remain a beast for all time
As the years pass
He felt into despair
And lost all hope for
Who could ever learn to love a beast
