Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

 

Music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella, Joseph Williams, Sally Dworsky, and Kristle Edwards

I can see what's happening

(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.)

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

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

[chorus]

And if he falls in love tonight

It can be assumed

His carefree days with us are history

In short, our pal is doomed
