The rest of the songs were performed by Collins himself and overlaid into the movie. The song is one of only two songs within Disney's Tarzan to have a part performed by an actual character (the other being "Trashin' the Camp" which the character's role in the song can be classified as scat singing). When destiny calls, the child is told he must be strong even if the parent is not with him. In the movie the song ends on the first verse, the full version of the song on the soundtrack album notes that others don't understand why a mother and child who are so different can love each other. She says everything will be fine and she tells him that "you will be in my heart always". The song, originally called "Lullaby" is used in a scene when Tarzan's adoptive gorilla mother Kala sings that her baby should stop crying because she will protect her baby, and keep him safe and warm. This song is usually a romantic love song. The song was considered to be one of the most successful singles, critically and commercially, in 1999. The songs that eventually made the cut was: When You Wish Upon A Star (#7), Someday My Prince Will Come (#19), Beauty and the Beast (#62), and Hakuna Matata (#99). The song was also nominated for AFI's 100 years.100 songs, as one of 15 songs from Disney and one of 17 songs from an animated movie to be nominated. The song went on to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Later on the song is played one more time during the movie's ending credits.

Another version of this song is played near the end where Kala shows Tarzan his old house. The song is used in a scene when Tarzan's adoptive mother gorilla Kala sings that her baby should stop crying because she will protect her baby, and keep him safe and warm. A version of the single performed by Glenn Close also appears on the soundtrack.


" You'll Be in My Heart" is a motherly love song featured in Disney's 1999 animated feature film, Tarzan sung by Phil Collins.
