Can You Feel the Love Tonight
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What
And they don't have a clue
Who
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two
Oh
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air
Can you feel the love tonight
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past, impossible
She'd turn away from me
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?
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
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
His carefree days with us are history
In short, our pal is doomed
In Disney's song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight," the singer is observing two individuals who are falling in love, an observation the couple may not be aware of. The lyrics suggest that the singer is part of a trio, but the couple's relationship has whittled the group down to only two individuals. As the two fall in love, the singer expresses that there is magic all around them, but also a looming sense of disaster in the atmosphere.
The chorus speaks of the peace and harmony that love can bring, which is felt even in the uncertainties of the night. The final verse shifts the focus to the male half of the couple, who is holding back from embracing his true potential as a king. The singer asserts that he sees greatness in the male character, and wonders why he won't step into his role as king. The song ends with a warning of sorts, stating that if the male character falls in love, his life as it used to be will cease to exist.
