You And Me And One Spotlight.
It won't be long now
The music's on loud
The violin music led them into the ballroom, her hand warmly wrapped around his.
We'll sing this song out
He felt his heart beating as she guided his hands. Forcing back his fears, he let the music and his heart guide him.
And then we'll lie down
Ill hold you close then
Ill let you know when
The space and time bend
And then we'll fall in
He forgot his appearance, the guilt and anger that had been building inside of him for nearly a decade, the fear as he watched the petals fall. He was in love, for the first time in his life and he hoped she was in love with him.
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
We are ready
The beast had balked at Lumiere's suggestion at romance. He hadn't the first clue on how to express his feelings for her. But somehow, the idea had worked and the suit fit like a glove. The suit had been his father's and he had doubted that it would fit. But it did and he felt like a new man.
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
If this was heaven, he never wanted it to end.
Ill look for your eyes
To keep me inside
When everything dies
But one last sunrise
He knew the petals were falling, but he was so close. If he could only tell her how he felt, this dream would last forever.
And when we stand there together not scared
I'll dry your last tear
And then we'll just have
She had told him so much of her life at home. Her widowed father still working on the invention that he kept insisting would make them wealthy, feeling ostracized and mocked by other people in her town. He understood her loneliness, her heartbreak and he wanted to make them go away, to see her smile.
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and not much time
So watch the world burning bright
Her dress has been found hidden away in a trunk, he had assumed to belong to his mother or another female relative. The dress was perfect for her; he knew it the moment he laid eyes on it.
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
His initial moments were a little clumsy, the last time he had danced like this seemed a lifetime ago, forced by his parents to take dance lessons.
But she was patient and generous, guiding him until the lessons of his youth took over and he remembered what had seemed at the time an annoyance.
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
It won't be long now
He didn't hear the music anymore; he only knew his heart and her face smiling up at his. He knew this was where he wanted to be for the rest of his life, even if it meant staying a beast.
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
Say you will be (you won't be long)
All around me (you won't be long now)
To be continued…
