You'll Be In My Heart

Collins wrote this for the Disney movie Tarzan, and it earned him an Oscar for Best Original Song at the 1999 Academy Awards. 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.
