Billy Joel’s song River of Dreams, which contain the lyrics “In the middle of the night, I go walking in my sleep”, was not featured in the movie The Lion King. However, some suggest that it has the "feel" of a Lion King song, similar toI Just Can't Wait to be King and would have been a good fit for the movie. (See what they mean in the video below.)
Of interest, River of Dreams was featured during Season 5, episode 10 of the TV show “Dancing with the Stars”.
