“You’ll Be In My Heart” – performed by Phil Collins
Come, stop your crying, it will be all right
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
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
Don’t listen to them, ’cause 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
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
Always, I’ll be with you
I’ll be there for you, always, always and always
Just look over your shoulder
I’ll be there, always
One of the songs written and performed by Phil Collins which became number 1 in the adult contemporary charts was “You’ll Be In My Heart”.
The song was a soundtrack for a Disney Movie “Tarzan”. Aside from its arrangement for the movie soundtrack, this song is actually used in many funeral services because of the meaning of the lyrics.
The title of the song says a lot and the lyrics just strengthen the meaning. It tells the listeners that even in separation caused by death, the memory of a person will live on in the hearts of everybody. Aside from that, the song can also be as if the deceased person was singing it, telling the bereaved family members that he will always be with them and that he will watch over his families even in death.
The piece of music even says, “Just look over your shoulder, I’ll be there always”. Your deceased loved one will be your angel who will look after you. Some people use lines from this song and use them as inspiration for funeral quotes.
