The Lion King
Timon:
- I can see what's happening.
Pumbaa:
- What?
Timon:
- And they don't have a clue.
Pumbaa:
- Who?
Timon:
- They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line,
- Our trio's down to two.
Pumbaa:
- Oh.
Timon:
- Ze sweet caress of twilight.
- There's magic everywhere.
- And with all this romantic atmosphere,
- Disaster's in the air.
Singer:
- Can you feel the love tonight?
- The peace the evening brings.
- The world, for once, in perfect harmony,
- With all it's living things.
Simba:
- So many things to tell her.
- But how to make her see,
- The truth about my past? Impossible!
- She'd turn away from me
Nala:
- He's holding back, he's hiding.
- But what, I can't decide.
- Why won't he be the king I know he is,
- The king I see inside?
Chorus:
- Can you feel the love tonight?
- The peace the evening brings.
- The world, for once, in perfect harmony,
- With all its living things.
- Can you feel the love tonight?
- You needn't look too far.
- Stealing through the night's uncertainties,
- Love is where they are.
Timon:
- And if he falls in love tonight,
- It can be assumed.
Pumbaa:
- His carefree days with us are history.
Timon and Pumbaa:
- In short, our pal is doomed.
Elton John Version
- There's a calm surrender
- To the rush of day
- When the heat of the rolling world
- Can be turned away
- An enchanted moment
- And it sees me through
- It's enough for this restless warrior
- Just to be with you
Chorus:
- Can you feel the love tonight?
- It is where we are
- It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
- That we got this far
- Can you feel the love tonight?
- How it's laid to rest?
- It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
- Believe the very best
- There's a time for everyone
- If they only learn
- That the twisting kaleidoscope
- Moves us all in turn
- There's a rhyme and reason
- To the wild outdoors
- When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
- Beats in time with yours
(Chorus)
- It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
- Believe the very best
