At Lunch
@LUNCH - Phil Collins - You'll be in my heart (video and lyrics)─── 12:11 Tue, 09 Feb 2016

"For one so small, you seem so strong. My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm."

Collins wrote this for the Disney movie Tarzan, and it earned him an Oscar for Best Original Song.
It was Collins' first win in the category - he was previously nominated for "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)" for the movie Against All Odds and for "Two Hearts" from the movie Buster. (thanks, Logan - Troy, MT)
In the movie, this appears in a scene where a young Tarzan is comforted by his adoptive gorilla mother, voiced by Glenn Close.
Lyrics
Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
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 (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 (you gotta 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
Yes, you'll be in my heart
[another version says: "Believe me, you'll be in my heart"]
I'll be there 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 (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.

Phil Collins Performs: ''You'll Be In My Heart'' Live at Montreux.
This song has some of the best chord and key progressions I've ever heard. It initially grabs you and just keeps pulling you more and more into the song as it goes on.

Fun fact, this song was dedicated to Phil's daughter Lily.
