Can You Feel the Love Tonight

**Can You Feel the Love Tonight** is a song from The Lion King. It was also sung by Elton John.

## Original Lyrics

**Timon:** I can see what's happening.

**Pumbaa:** (spoken) What?

**Timon:** And they don't have a clue

**Pumbaa:** (spoken) Who?

**Timon:** They'll fall in love, and here's the bottom line

Our trio's down to two

**Pumbaa:** (spoken) Oh.

**Timon:** (sarcastically) Ze sweet caress of twilight

There's magic everywhere

And with all this romantic atmosphere

Disaster's in the air

**Solo singer:** Can you feel the love tonight?

The peace the evening brings

The world, for once, in perfect harmony

With all its living things

**Background Chorus:** Lalela thuli

Lalela thuli

Lalela thuli

Lalela lelando we

**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

**Background Chorus:** Lalela thuli

Lalela thuli

Lalela thuli

Lalela lelando we

Can you feel the love tonight?

You needn't look too far

Steeling through the night's uncertainties

Love is where they are

Lalela thuli

Lalela thuli

**Timon:** And if he falls in love tonight

It can be assumed

**Pumbaa:** His carefree days with us are history

**Both:** In short, our pal is doomed

*(Pumbaa starts gagging and Timon crying, shedding noisy tears)*

## Elton John Lyrics

There's a calm surrender

To the rush of day

When the heat of a rolling wind

Can be turned away

An enchanted moment

And it sees me through

It's enough for this restless warrior

Just to be with you

And can you feel the love tonight?

It is where we are

It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer

That we got this far

And 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

Move 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

And can you feel the love tonight?

It is where we are

It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer

That we got this far

And can you feel the love tonight?

How it's laid to rest

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds

Believe the very best

It's enough to make kings and vagabonds

Believe the very best.
