Baby of Mine...

Here are some lyrics to a lullaby I love. My favorite version is by Allison Krause who sings everything like a heavenly being in my opinion! Ever since I heard this song sung on Dumbo it has had the power to make me weep. Today I heard it and it was no different, I wept through the whole thing. My love for Emaline has no bounds.

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
