You'll Be In My Heart
Phil Collins · Tarzan OST
It will be all right
Just take my hand Hold it tight
I will protect you
from all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,
deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other,
to have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always
You'll Be In My Heart
Phil Collins' 'You'll Be In My Heart' serves as the iconic theme for the 1999 animated film 'Tarzan,' marking a significant shift in his musical output from pop-rock to orchestral adventure scoring. The track blends Collins' signature melodic sensibility with lush string arrangements and a driving percussion section, creating an atmosphere of wonder and urgency that perfectly complements the jungle setting of the movie. While the song was originally recorded specifically for the film's soundtrack, it has since become a staple of Collins' discography, often appearing on live compilations and greatest hits collections alongside his more familiar studio singles. Its enduring popularity stems from its ability to evoke the spirit of exploration and adventure, cementing its place in both film history and the broader landscape of 1990s music.
