Jonathan Ansell – Who Wants To Live Forever? lyrics

Beast:
There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams yet slips away from us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
De La Grande Bouche:
Come along dearie.
Let's get you off those wet things.
Beast:
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us
Who wants to live forever?
Who wants to live forever?
Belle, I have something to show you.
But first, you have to close your eyes. It's a surprise!
Belle:
May I open them?
Beast:
Alright, alright. Now!
Belle:
I can't believe it!
I've never seen so many books in my whole life!
Beast:
You like it?
Belle:
It's wonderful!
Beast:
It's yours!
Who dares to love forever?
When love must die
Belle:
Oh, this is one of my favorites!
It's "King Arthur."
Have you ever read it?
Beast:
No.
Belle:
You don't know what you're missing.
I'd love to read this again.
Wait... you can read this first.
Beast:
No, that's alright
Belle:
No, really, you read it
Beast:
Oh, No, you...
Belle:
No, you
Beast:
No! I can't...
Belle:
You never learn to read?
Beast:
Only a little, and long ago
Belle:
Well, it just so happens that this is the perfect book to read aloud. Come here, sit by me
Beast:
But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today
Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?
Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?
Cogsworth:
Perhaps, who waits forever anyway?
Chip:
What?
Mrs Potts:
Who waits forever anyway?
Chip:
What's there, Mama?
Mrs Potts:
Ssh. I'll tell you when you're older.
Come along now. Let's give them some privacy...
Chip:
Mama?
Mrs Potts:
Yes, Chip
Chip:
Will I ever get to be a boy again?
Mrs Potts:
I hope so
Chip:
When will I know?
Mrs Potts:
Soon. If it's to be. It will be very soon now.
Come along, son.
Belle:
Knowing now, that this was indeed the legendary sword called "Excalibur," Arthur tried to pull it from the stone.
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...
Beast:
So that must mean he's the king!
Belle:
Wait and see
Beast:
I never knew books could do that
Belle:
Do what?
Beast:
Take me away from this place, make
Me forget for a little while
Belle:
Forget?
Beast:
Who I... What I am...
Belle:
We have something in common, you know
Beast:
What is that?
Belle:
In the town where I come from, the people think I'm odd
Beast:
You?
Belle:
So, I know how it feels to be... different.
And I know how lonely that can be
Belle:
For the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword, and there a rose from the people a great shout. Arthur is king.
Beast:
I told you so...
