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

Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
     [Mamee la le lum te way!]

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




~Note from Vikali~
I have not fully transcribed all the backing vocals, 'duh de dum's, and various random sounds in this set of lyrics due to the fact that very few are actually comprehendable, let alone audible. I did include the Zulu call, however, that occurs just before Simba's lines purely because of certain people's curiosity. They know who I mean.
