I so wish I knew this song a few years back!!! In the Disney movie “Dumbo”, the mama elephant sings this song to her very sad and picked on little guy. I love the song and after seeing Dumbo for a number of times, I started singing it. My youngest makes a beeline for my lap every time he hears the song start!! lol! And he just curls up in my arms and gazes into my eyes.. its JUST the best! I sing it all the time now and every time I sing it, he runs for my lap. Anyway heres the lyrics
Baby mine, don’t you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don’t you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They’d end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they’d give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You’re not much, goodness knows
But you’re so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine
