Can You Feel the Love Tonight is a love song between Simba and Nala in which they both sing what they're thinking. Timon and Pumbaa also lament the loss of their friendship and good times with Simba.
Lyrics[]
Timon:
I can see what's happening.
Pumbaa:
What?
Timon:
And they don't have a clue.
Pumbaa:
Who?
Timon:
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two.
Pumbaa:
Oh.
Timon:
The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air.
Chorus:
Can you feel the love tonight
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things.
Simba:
So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past, impossible
She'd turn away from me
Nala:
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?
Simba / Nala:
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Simba / Nala / Chorus:
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties
Love is where they are
Nala:
And if he feels the love tonight
In the way I do
Simba:
It's enough for this restless wanderer
Simba/Nala:
Just to be with you
