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,
pay no heed what they say
Let your eyes sparkle and shine,
never a tear, baby of mine

If they knew all about 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 hair down to your toes,
you're not much, goodness knows
But, you're so precious to me,
sweet as can be, baby of mine
