Something There

BELLE
There’s something sweet,
and almost kind,
but he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined.
And now he’s dear,
and so I’m sure,
I wonder why I didn’t see it there before.
BEAST
She glanced this way,
I thought I saw.
And when we touched she didn’t shudder at my paw.
No, it can’t be,
I’ll just ignore,
But then she’s never looked at me that way before.
BELLE
New, and a bit alarming!
Who’d have ever thought that this could be!
True, that he’s no Prince Charming,
but there’s something in him that I simply didn’t see.
LUMIERE
Well, who’d have thought!
MRS. POTTS
Well, bless my soul!
COGSWORTH
Well, who’d have known?
MRS POTTS
Well, who indeed!
LUMIERE
And who’d have guessed they’d come together on their own?
MRS. POTTS LUMIERE
It’s so peculiar,
Wait and see We’ll, wait and see
LUMIERE and MRS. POTTS and COGSWORTH
A few days more.
There may be something there
That wasn’t there before.
COGSWORTH
'Ere*, perhaps there’s something there
That wasn’t there before.
MRS. POTTS
There may be something there
That wasn’t there before.
