"How Does a Moment Last Forever?" is one of the four songs invented for the 2017 live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast. The movie version of the song is sung by Maurice as he fixes his music box, building how every moments are living on in the heart.Belle looks at a portrait of her late mother and infant self.

Belle later sings reprise of the song when the Beast takes her to her family's abandoned windmill in Paris.

Another version of the song appears at the end credits, sung by the singer Celine Dion.

Lyrics[]

Original[]

How does a moment last forever?
How can a story never die?
It is love we must hold on to
Never easy but we try

Sometimes our happiness is captured
Somehow a time and place stand still
Love lives on inside our hearts

And always will

Reprise[]

This is the Paris of my childhood
These were the borders of my life
In this crumbling, dusty attic
Where an artist loved his wife

Easy to remember
Harder to move on
Knowing the Paris of my childhood

Is gone
