Disney/Glenn Close/Phil Collins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
And 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





Always

Overall Meaning

The lyrics "You'll Be in My Heart" from the movie Tarzan sung by Phil Collins, written by David Zippel and composed by Collins himself, became a popular Disney song in the late '90s. The song talks about a motherly figure consoling a child and promising to protect and be there for the child always. The lyrics begin with "Come stop your crying. It will be alright. Just take my hand and hold it tight". The intended meaning behind these lyrics is that when children are afraid or upset, the comfort of an adult can assuage their fears and allow them to feel safe.


The next few lines "I will protect you from all around you. I will be here, don't you cry" provide a sense of security and protection. The idea is that as long as the child holds onto the adult's hand, they won't have to worry about anything bad happening. The lyrics continue to emphasize the strength of the bond between the two, as the line "This bond between us can't be broken" highlights the unconditional love and protection.


The chorus of "You'll Be in My Heart" emphasizes the theme of the song by repeating "You'll be in my heart" three times. The chorus is a declaration of the promise made to the child that they will always be in the singer's heart, reassuring the child that they are loved. The song concludes with "You'll be here in my heart always", driving home the message that the child will always be loved and cared for.
