Baby Mine
Bette Midler Lyrics

Baby mine, don't you cry.
My dear baby, please don't shed any tears.

Baby mine, dry your eyes.
Wipe away your tears because you're safe and sound.

Rest your head close to my heart,
Lay your head against my chest and feel my love.

Never to part, baby of mine.
We'll always be together, my darling child.

Little one, when you play,
My precious child, let yourself enjoy playtime.

Pay no heed what they say.
Don't pay attention to what others say about you.

Let your eyes sparkle and shine,
Allow your eyes to reflect your inner joy and beauty.

Never a tear, baby of mine.
Your happiness is my priority, my dear child.

If they knew all about you,
Those who judge you would accept and love you if they knew you well.

They'd end up loving you, too.
They would experience love and appreciation for you too.

All those same people who scold you,
Those who criticize you now would cherish the opportunity to hold you close.

What they'd give just for the right to hold you.
They would value holding you close and wouldn't mind anything in return.

From your hair down to your toes,
From head to toe, you may not seem like much to the world.

You're not much, goodness knows.
You might seem insignificant, but I know your worth, my dear child.

But, you're so precious to me,
But to me, beyond your physical appearance, you're priceless and treasured.

Sweet as can be, baby of mine.
You're my sweet and lovely child, and I adore you beyond measure.
