"Beauty and the Beast" (美女と野獣 Bijo to Yajū?) is a musical composition by Yoko Shimomura that appears in Kingdom Hearts II. It is an arrangement of "Beauty and the Beast", originally composed by Alan Menken with lyrics by Howard Ashman for the Disney film Beauty and the Beast; the version that appears in Kingdom Hearts II is specifically based on the pop version by Céline Dion and Peabo Bryson that plays in the end credits of the film. The original version of the song, as performed by Angela Lansbury as Mrs. Potts, appears as a playable track in Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory.

English lyrics[edit]

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
