“You’ll Be in My Heart” is a song by Phil Collins, from the 1999 Disney animated feature Tarzan. It appeared on Tarzan: An Original Walt Disney Records Soundtrack as well as various other Disney compilations. A version of the single performed by Glenn Close also appears on the soundtrack.
The music video for the song was directed by Kevin Godley.
“You’ll Be in My Heart”, spent nineteen non consecutive weeks at number one on the Adult Contemporary charts and peaked at #21 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song was Collins’s first appearance on the top forty of the Billboard Hot 100 chart since 1994’s “Everyday”. The track peaked at #17 in the UK Singles Chart, continuing his success that had not stopped after “Everyday”. The song went on to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Collins performed the song live at that year’s ceremony.
The song is used in a scene when Tarzan’s adoptive gorilla mother Kala sings that her baby should stop crying because she will protect her baby, and keep him safe and warm. She says everything will be fine and she tells him that “you will be in my heart always”. In the movie the song ends on the first verse, the full version of the song on the soundtrack album notes that others don’t understand why a mother and child who are so different can love each other. When destiny calls, the child is told he must be strong even if the parent is not with him. The song is one of only two songs within Disney’s Tarzan to be sung (at least partly) by an actual character (the other “Trashin’ the Camp” is essentially just scat singing though.). The rest of the songs were performed by Collins himself and overlaid into the movie.

Lyrics
| Come, stop your crying 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(*) 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(*)(**) |
來吧！別哭了 一切都會沒事的 牽著我的手，握緊它 我會在四週保護你 我會在這兒，別哭了 對一個小個子來說 你看起來好堅強 我的手臂會擁抱著你 保護你的安全與溫暖 你我之間這條繫帶不會斷掉 我會在這兒，別哭了 因為你永在我心中 是的，你永在我心中 從這一天開始 一直到永遠 你永在我心中 不管別人怎麼說 你在我心中，永永遠遠 為何人們無法了解我們的感受？ 他們無法信任 自己無法解釋的事情 我知道我倆與眾不同 但在我們內心深處 我們其實並非如此 別聽他們說的 他們知道些什麼？ 我們需要彼此擁有與擁抱 他們終究會明白的，我知道 當命運在召喚著你 你一定要堅強 我也許無法與你同行 但你一定要堅持下去 他們終究會明白的，我知道 我倆將一同讓他們了解 |
