Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast

Song by Nightwish

Remember the first dance we shared?

Recall the night you melted my uglyness away?

The night you left with a kiss so kind

Only a scent of beauty left behind

Ah, dear friend I remember the night

The moon and the dreams we shared

Your trembling paw in my hand, dreaming of that northern land

Touching me with a kiss of a beast

I know my dreams are made of you

Of you and only for you

Your ocean pulls me under, your voice tears me asunder

Love me before the last petal falls

As a world without a glance of the ocean's fair expanse

Such the world would be if no love did flow in thee

But as my heart is occupied, your love to me now has to die

Forgive me, I need more than you can offer me

Didn't you read the tale where happily ever after was to kiss a frog?

Don't you know this tale, in which all I ever wanted

I'll never have?

For who could ever learn to love a beast?

However cold the wind and rain

I'll be there to ease up your pain

However cruel the mirrors of sin

Remember, beauty is found within

Forever shall the wolf in me desire the sheep in you
