Lovely Lyrics: Baby Mine




75 years ago today, the movie Dumbo premiered.  Three-quarters of a century later, the "Baby Mine" scene endures as one of the most heartbreaking moments ever.

Baby Mine
from Dumbo

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 they 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 so sweet, goodness knows
You are so precious to me
Sweet as can be, baby of mine

Written by
Ned Washington & Frank Churchill

Happy Tails to you!
