The First Time I Loved Forever

Lisa Angelie & Ron Pearlman

(Love theme from Beauty & The Beast, TV series)



Narration:

Somewhere I have never travelled

Gladly beyond any experience

Your eyes have their silence

In your most frail gesture are things which enclosed me

Or which I can not touch, because they are too near



The first time I loved forever

Was when you whispered my name

And I knew at once you loved me

For the me of who I am



The first time I loved forever

I cast all else aside

And I bid my heart to follow

Be there no more need to hide



And if wishes and dreams are merely for children

And if love's a tale for fools

I'll live the dream with you



Narration:

Or if your wish be to close me,

I and my life will shut very beautifully suddenly

As when the heart of this flower imagines the snow

Carefully, everywhere descending



For all my life and forever

There's a truth I will always know

When my world divides and shatters

Your love is where I'll go



Narration:

I do not know what it is about you that closes and opens,

Only something in me understands

The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses

Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.
