Alex/Celtic Woman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

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

Overall Meaning

The song "You'll Be in My Heart" by Alex/Celtic Woman is a powerful tribute to the bond between parent and child. The lyrics invite the listener to stop crying and take the singer's hand, assuring them that they will be protected and held close. Though the child may be small, the bond between them cannot be broken. The song acknowledges the challenges that may arise when others don't understand the strength of the bond, but it encourages the child to be strong when faced with adversity. The message is clear: the singer will always be there for the child and they will always be in their heart.


The lyrics impart an amazing parental affection, where the parent is willing to do anything to protect their child from the world. It conveys that the child is infinitely important to the parent and that no matter what the world may say or do to weaken it, the bond between parent and child will always remain unbroken. The song aims to provide assurance to the child that they can rely on their parent all their life and assures them that the parent's love for them will never falter.


The song was originally written by Phil Collins for the Disney animated film Tarzan, and was one of the songs that propelled the soundtrack to become a chart-topping success. Collins won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for the track. The song has since been covered by several artists, including Alex/Celtic Woman, whose rendition features powerful, sweeping orchestration that beautifully highlights the sentiment and emotionality of the lyrics.

Alex is precise in hitting her notes. she interprets her song beautifully. She exudes sincerity and humility in her performance.

Stephen Rush

The person who doesn't get enough credit is David Downes. Not just for his arrangements and original compositions, but for his remarkable talent for finding talent.

Sapphire848

I'm a huge fan of Celtic Woman but this is the first time I've heard Alex and I'm blown away. She is amazing! Her stage presence is strong, yet delicate, and her voice is beautiful. You can tell how much she loves being there. The dance was powerful, as well.

Brvsfn011

@sapphire848 Alex Sharpe was a wonderful part of Celtic Woman but even before joining them she was an amazing Singer in her own right and has numerous awards for her music. Look here up here on YouTube and listen to what she has done. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I lost my mother three years ago and sometimes it's still hard. but I promise things will get better. They won't always be the same but they will get better. just keep singing :) and know she's there with you.
