End Duet

"End Duet" (also titled as "Transformation") is a song from the Beauty and the Beast stage musical. 
==Background==
It is sung at the end of the musical where Belle comforts the Beast who is severely injured by Gaston during the battle just as the Beast dies to which after the last petal of the Enchanted Rose falls, a fragment of the score "Transformation" from the 1991 original film briefly plays throughout the song where the Beast is transformed into a handsome Prince whom Belle finally recognizes who he really is before he was turned into a Beast just as she and the Prince reconcile and reunite with each other alongside the Castle Servants who have been transformed back into their human forms just as the couple reunites with them, which later loops into a reprise of the musical number "Beauty and the Beast".

Beast: (spoken) You came back.
Belle: (spoken) Of course I came back, I couldn't let them. If only I'd come here sooner.
Beast: Maybe it's better this way.
Belle: No. Don't talk like that. Everything will be fine.
Beast: No Belle, it won't be...
Belle: Shh. We're together now - everything is fine.
Beast: At least I got to see you one last…
Belle: (sung) We are home
We are where shall be forever
Trust in me
For you know, I won't run away
From today, this is all that I need
And all that I need to say
Home should be where the heart is
I'm certain as I can be
I found home
You're my home
Stay with...
Beast: (spoken) Belle...I...
Belle: (spoken) Yes?
(Beast dies)
No… No, please! Don't leave me! Please!
I love you.
("Transformation")
Prince: (sung) Belle, look into my eyes
Belle, don't you recognize?
The Beast within the man who's here before you?
Belle: (spoken) It is you!
Belle & Prince: (sung) Two lives have begun now
Two hearts become one now
One passion, one dream
One thing forever true
I love you…
(cue to reprise of "Beauty and the Beast")
Chorus: Certain as the sun 
Aaah!
Rising in the east
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
Aaah!
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the beast
Aaah!

Don't you know how you've changed me
Strange how I finally see
I found home
You're my home
Stay with me
