[edit] Lyrics question

Why do the film version and Elton John version have so different sets of lyrics (with nothing except the 6-word phrase that is the title of the song in common)?? Georgia guy 19:31, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

One song was intended for the film, the other to be a freestanding pop music song. I imagine that some lyric changes were needed to make the song more accesible to those just wanted to hear an Elton John song. Blue Phoenix 20:36, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Neil Diamond?

I have a version of this song on my computer that is sang by Neil Diamond. I find no information about this song on this article. Does anyone know when this was song was made? Thanks. Manningmbd 18:26, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Broadway / Film versions

Should it be noted that the lyrics of the last verse of the song were changed for the Broadway version? JP Godfrey (Talk to me) 12:14, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Film version (Sung by Timone & Pumba)

And if they fall in love tonight
It can be assumed
His care-free days with us are history
In short our pal is doomed

Broadway version (Sung by Nala & Simba)

(Nala)
An if he feels the love tonight
In the way I do
(Simba)
It's enough for this restless wanderer
(Both)
Just to be with you
