WHEN SHE LOVED ME (TOY STORY 2, 1999)

"You never forget kids like Emily, or Andy, but they forget you." - Jessie

Perhaps, the most heartbreaking theme from Disney and Pixar in recent years came from the 1999 sequel of the hugely successful Toy Story. In the song When She Loved Me, Jessie (Woody's female counterpart) sung the time when she was being loved by her child owner Emily. Earthly-voiced singer Sarah McLachlan wonderfully rendered the song. The theme was nominated for best original song in the Oscars.


WHEN SHE LOVED ME
sung by: Sarah McLachlan

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy
So was I
When she loved me

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other, that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me
So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say
I will always love you

Lonely and forgotten
I'd never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me
And held me just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
When she loved me
