The Lion King
Joseph Williams Sally Dworsky 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

I can see what's happening
I can perceive the event that's unfolding
(What?)
Asking for more information to clarify the situation
And they don't have a clue
They have no idea what's happening
(Who?)
Asking for the identity of the people involved
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
They will inevitably fall in love, that's the reality of the situation
Our trio's down to two
The group of three has now become two people
Ze sweet caress of twilight
The gentle touch of dusk
There's magic everywhere
The surroundings are filled with enchantment
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Despite the romantic mood
Disaster's in the air
There's a sense of impending doom
Can you feel the love tonight?
Can you sense the affection in the air tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The calmness that night time offers
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
The world is in complete harmony at this moment
With all its living things
Including all living creatures
So many things to tell her
There's an overwhelming desire to share everything with her
But how to make her see
But the question remains, how can she understand?
The truth about my past? Impossible!
It's impossible to reveal the truth about my past to her
She'd turn away from me
She would reject me
He's holding back, he's hiding
He's not being completely honest
But what, I can't decide
But I'm not sure what he's hiding
Why won't he be the king I know he is
Why won't he become the king he's destined to be?
The king I see inside?
The king I know he has the potential to become?
You needn't look too far
You don't have to search too hard
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Navigating through the unpredictability of the night
Love is where they are
Love is present where they are
And if he falls in love tonight
And if he happens to fall in love tonight
It can be assumed
It's safe to assume
His carefree days with us are history
His days of being carefree with us are over
In short, our pal is doomed
In summary, our friend is probably in trouble

I couldn't believe my ears to find out that the singing voice of adult Simba was singer of my favorite band TOTO, no wonder I hear some familiarity. I couldn't be so proud!! Of Joseph Williams. Bravo!!!!
@ReggaeSunshine1
Mmmmhmmmm I was so in love with adult Simba's singing voice, back when I was a kid. His voice is dreamy ❤Then later in my teens I found out, he is the lead singer in Toto. Joseph my beloved

Doesn't sound like Joseph Williams to me. Can anyone provide a link to him sounding similar in anything else?
