The Elton John lyrics

These are the Lyrics that Elton John used in his own performances of  "The Lion King"  pieces.
         
Can You Feel the Love Tonight? (End Title)
              
There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
              
(Chorus)
Can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
              
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twistin' kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
              
(Chorus)
              
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best

            
Circle of Life
              
             From the day we arrive on the planet
             And blinking, step into the sun
             There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
             More to do than can ever be done
              
             Some say eat or be eaten
             Some say live and let live
             But all are agreed as they join the stampede
             You should never take more than you give
              
             (Chorus)
             In the circle of life
             It's the wheel of fortune
             It's the leap of faith
             It's the band of hope
             Till we find our place
             On the path unwinding
             In the circle, the circle of life
              
             Some of us fall by the wayside
             And some of us soar to the stars
             And some of us sail through our troubles
             And some have to live with the scars
              
             There's far too much to take in here
             More to find than can ever be found
             But the sun rolling high
             Through the sapphire sky
             Keeps the great and small on the endless round
              
             (Chorus Repeats and loops into chorus again.)
              
             On the path unwinding
             In the circle, the circle of life.
              


             
I Just Can't Wait to be King
              
             Way behind the water hole
             A little down the line
             The jungle and the plains and peaks
             Are scheduled to be mine
              
             I'm gonna be the ruler
             Of most everything around
             From the grandest of the mountains
             To the humble common ground
             My reign will be a super-awesome thing
             Oh, I just can't wait to be king
              
             I'm going to be a noble king
             Scrupulously fair
             I only need a little time
             Perhaps a little hair
              
             I'm gonna be the mane event
             That no king was before
             I'm brushing up on looking down
             I'm working on my roar
             The fauna and the flora gonna swing
             Oh, I just can't wait to be king
              
             (Chorus)
             No one saying do this
             No one saying be there
             No one saying stop that
             No one saying see here
             Free to run around all day
             I'll be free to do it my way
              
             (Piano Solo)
              
             No one saying do this
             No one saying be there
             No one saying stop that
             No one saying see here
             Free to run around all day
             Free to do it my way
              
             The time has come
             As someone said
             To talk of many things
             This may be true
             But I would rather stick to talking kings
              
             It's easy to be royal
             If you're already leonine
             In isn't just my right
             Even my left will be devine
             The monarchy is waiting to go zing
             Oh, I just can't wait to be king
              
             Oh, I just can't wait to be king
             (Repeat until fade)
