Baby Mine
Disney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 of those people who scold you
What they'd give just for the right to hold you

From your head, down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be
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, down to your toes
You're not much, goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be




Baby of mine
Baby of mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Baby Mine" from the Disney movie Dumbo is a lullaby sung by Dumbo's mother, Mrs. Jumbo, to her baby. The song is a sweet and simple tribute to a mother's unconditional love for her child. The lyrics are full of reassurances that no matter what may happen in life, she will always be there to comfort and protect him. The first verse of the song is a reminder to the baby that he is loved and that he should not cry. The second verse is a reminder to the baby that he should not worry about what others say and should continue to be himself.


The bridge of the song is especially poignant, as it acknowledges the unfairness of the world and the way that some people will judge and criticize those who are different. However, the lyrics still manage to maintain an uplifting message. Mrs. Jumbo reminds her baby that, despite any difficulties they may face, they will always be precious to each other. The final verse is a gentle lullaby, repeating the message from the first verse and telling the baby to rest easy, knowing that he is loved.

Currently playing this song through headphones to my unborn daughter through my belly. I’m in love with this song and plan to sing this to her when she is here.

I have sung it to my baby boy since he was born. He is now 4 months old and I sob every single time I hear this sweet song.
