Baby Mine

For several weeks now, Neva has been obsessed with ONE song from Dumbo.  I think it's her first favorite and it absolutely slays me.

Initially, she enjoyed it because it made me cry and she found that entertaining.  She would watch the same video over and over, where parts of the movie played while this heart-wrenching song played in the background.

Now, she's obsessed with learning the song.  We have to listen to it and practice singing it all of the time.  And it nearly kills me every single time.  Talk about heart melting goodness.

I mean, really.  Check out the lyrics...

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

And here's a little video that Becca got of Neva singing while playing with a mommy elephant and a baby elephant....
