Jonathan Ansell - Who Wants To Live Forever? lyrics

rate me

Beast:<br />

There's no time for us<br />

There's no place for us<br />

What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us<br />

Who wants to live forever?<br />

Who wants to live forever?<br />

De La Grande Bouche:<br />

Come along dearie.<br />

Let's get you off those wet things.<br />

Beast:<br />

There's no chance for us<br />

It's all decided for us<br />

This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us<br />

Who wants to live forever?<br />

Who wants to live forever?<br />

Belle, I have something to show you.<br />

But first, you have to close your eyes. It's a surprise! <br />

Belle:<br />

May I open them?<br />

Beast:<br />

Alright, alright. Now! <br />

Belle:<br />

I can't believe it! <br />

I've never seen so many books in my whole life! <br />

Beast:<br />

You like it?<br />

Belle:<br />

It's wonderful! <br />

Beast:<br />

It's yours! <br />

Who dares to love forever?<br />

When love must die<br />

Belle:<br />

Oh, this is one of my favorites! <br />

It's "King Arthur."<br />

Have you ever read it?<br />

Beast:<br />

No.<br />

Belle:<br />

You don't know what you're missing.<br />

I'd love to read this again.<br />

Wait... you can read this first.<br />

Beast:<br />

No, that's alright<br />

Belle:<br />

No, really, you read it<br />

Beast:<br />

Oh, No, you... <br />

Belle:<br />

No, you<br />

Beast:<br />

No! I can't... <br />

Belle:<br />

You never learn to read?<br />

Beast:<br />

Only a little, and long ago<br />

Belle:<br />

Well, it just so happens that this is the perfect book to read aloud. Come here, sit by me<br />

Beast:<br />

But touch my tears with your lips<br />

Touch my world with your fingertips<br />

And we can have forever<br />

And we can love forever<br />

Forever is our today<br />

Who wants to live forever<br />

Who wants to live forever?<br />

Forever is our today<br />

Who waits forever anyway?<br />

Cogsworth:<br />

Perhaps, who waits forever anyway?<br />

Chip:<br />

What?<br />

Mrs Potts:<br />

Who waits forever anyway?<br />

Chip:<br />

What's there, Mama?<br />

Mrs Potts:<br />

Ssh. I'll tell you when you're older.<br />

Come along now. Let's give them some privacy... <br />

Chip:<br />

Mama?<br />

Mrs Potts:<br />

Yes, Chip<br />

Chip:<br />

Will I ever get to be a boy again?<br />

Mrs Potts:<br />

I hope so<br />

Chip:<br />

When will I know?<br />

Mrs Potts:<br />

Soon. If it's to be. It will be very soon now.<br />

Come along, son.<br />

Belle:<br />

Knowing now, that this was indeed the legendary sword called "Excalibur," Arthur tried to pull it from the stone.<br />

He tried once to no avail. He tried a second time, but still, he could not pull it out. Then, for the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword... <br />

Beast:<br />

So that must mean he's the king! <br />

Belle:<br />

Wait and see<br />

Beast:<br />

I never knew books could do that<br />

Belle:<br />

Do what?<br />

Beast:<br />

Take me away from this place, make<br />

Me forget for a little while<br />

Belle:<br />

Forget?<br />

Beast:<br />

Who I... What I am... <br />

Belle:<br />

We have something in common, you know<br />

Beast:<br />

What is that?<br />

Belle:<br />

In the town where I come from, the people think I'm odd<br />

Beast:<br />

You?<br />

Belle:<br />

So, I know how it feels to be... different.<br />

And I know how lonely that can be<br />

Belle:<br />

For the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword, and there a rose from the people a great shout. Arthur is king.<br />

Beast:<br />

I told you so...
