At the end of the special, Pooh meets with Christopher Robin after receiving a Valentine from him. He tells him that he was worried that he had a new friend, the girl Winifred that Christopher Robin was seen writing a letter to at the beginning of the special. Christopher Robin tells Pooh that just because he has a new friend doesn't mean that there isn't a place for him in his heart and sings this song to reassure him of this.
Background[]
The song is performed by Jim Cummings, Frank J. Galasso, and Ken Sansom. Though Tigger performs in the song, Paul Winchell (who voiced the character in the film), is not credited, suggesting that Jim Cummings provided the singing voice for Tigger. Like the other songs in the film, it was written by Michael Silversher and Patty Silversher, with arrangement by Carl Johnson.
Majority[]
The majority of the song is performed as a solo by Christopher Robin, with occasional spoken comments by Pooh. At the end of the song, the cast joins in. At the very end of the song, Christopher Robin tells Pooh that he loves him. An instrumental of the song plays as the Narrator narrates the ending of the film, and an instrumental is also played over the closing credits.
Christopher Robin:
There's a place right here,
And it's really rather small.
But this rather small place
Knows the grandest thing of all.
It knows when understanding
Can be hard to understand.
It knows no words are needed
When you take somebody's hand.
(Pooh:Like mine?)
It knows that you are with me
In everything I do
It's a special corner of my heart,
the place that I call "Pooh".
Pooh: Oh, Christopher.
Christopher Robin:
There are places in the heart
That always know a friend
In good and glad and sad times
The heart remembers them
There are new friends yet to meet
There's a place for them to start
But old friends always keep their
Places in the heart
All:
There are places in the heart
That always know a friend
In good and glad and sad times
The heart remembers them
There are new friends yet to meet
There's a place for them to start
But old friends always keep their
Places in the heart
