Can You Feel The Love Tonight? (From The Lion King) by Elton John

Easy piano arrangement in the key of C at 68 BPM. Difficulty: beginner. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with left-hand octave bass patterns — at 68 BPM, you have plenty of time to land each octave cleanly, so focus on keeping that reach relaxed rather than tense.
Your right hand carries a smooth, singable melody, but watch the moments where the harmony shifts to B♭ and D major — these are borrowed chords that sit outside the key of C, and your fingers may hesitate if you haven't drilled those transitions.
I'd suggest learning the left hand alone first, getting comfortable with the F–B♭ and G7–C moves especially, then layering in the melody.
A common stumble is rushing through the Dm7-to-G7 resolution; let it breathe, and use a touch of sustain pedal on those chord changes to keep things connected.
This is the piece that'll make octave bass feel like second nature to you.
