I am a diehard Beauty and the Beast fan!

When the new movie came out last year, I was ecstatic to watch it because I felt like it would still have all of the nostalgic moments from the original animated movie. 

Not only did the movie remind me of being a little kid because it still had all of my favorite parts, but there were new elements that I enjoyed just as much! 

I woke up with the song, "How Does a Moment Last Forever" stuck in my head. 

It is such a sweet song and an awesome addition to a beloved classic!

It is a lovely melody with a beautiful message.

"Love is beauty, love is pure."

"How Does A Moment Last Forever"

How does a moment last forever?
How can a story never die?
It is love we must hold onto
Never easy, but we try
Sometimes our happiness is captured
Somehow, our time and place stand still
Love lives on inside our hearts and always will
 

Minutes turn to hours, days to years then gone
But when all else has been forgotten
Still our song lives on
 

Maybe some moments weren't so perfect
Maybe some memories not so sweet
But we have to know some bad times
Or our lives are incomplete
Then when the shadows overtake us
Just when we feel all hope is gone
We'll hear our song and know once more
Our love lives on
 

How does a moment last forever?
How does our happiness endure?
Through the darkest of our troubles
Love is beauty, love is pure
Love pays no mind to desolation
It flows like a river through the soul
Protects, proceeds, and perseveres
And makes us whole
 

Minutes turn to hours, days to years then gone
But when all else has been forgotten
Still our song lives on
How does a moment last forever:
When our song lives on

I grew up watching the animated classic, and now my kids will grow up watching both! The magic of good stories helps us to retain that part of us that will always be a kid. 

"Love lives on inside our hearts and always will."
