bid a heart to follow

the rare theme song from the tv series 'beauty and the beast', first sung in 1987... retrieved, after years of seeking, thanks to utube. the lines from one of my favourite poems by ee cummings are interspersed within the lyrics;
sensing rain in a land of risk, trust and grief. the rich uncertainty of humanity taken afar by loss, and restored by love.

the same song is used to accompany a fitting & sensitive montage from Disney's cartoon version...
