Places in the Heart

Places in the Heart is

a song featured in the television special Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You. 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.

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 end of the song, he 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.

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

During the portion where Christopher Robin performs the chorus solo, clips of past moments with Christopher Robin with everyone from the Hundred Acre Wood are shown. The first two clips originate from Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too, while the remainder come from Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search for Christopher Robin.

Sample Lyrics

[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 know 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..
 
 
 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
