You'll Be In My Heart
Drew Seeley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It'll be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
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
Believe me, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart
(You'll be here in my heart)
No matter what they say
(I'll be with you)
You'll be here in my heart, always
(I'll be there always)
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there always
The song "You'll Be In My Heart" by Drew Seeley is a heartfelt and emotional song about protection, love and the bond between a parent and a child. The song starts with the lines "Come stop your crying, it'll be all right, just take my hand, hold it tight", which shows the comfort and assurance that the parent is giving to the child during a difficult moment. The parent promises to protect the child from all the negativity and challenges around them, and assures the child that they will always be there for them.
The next few lines of the song talk about the strength of the child, despite their small size, and how the bond between the parent and child is unbreakable. However, there are others who do not understand the relationship between the parent and child, and the parent acknowledges this in the lines "Why can't they understand the way we feel, they just don't trust what they can't explain".
The song then goes on to talk about how the parent and child are different, but not so different after all, and how they need each other. The parent encourages the child to be strong, even in times of separation, and reminds them that they will always be with them, even if it is just in spirit.
Overall, "You'll Be In My Heart" is a touching and emotional song that celebrates the value of family and relationships, and the importance of strength in difficult times.
