Baby Mine

"Baby Mine" is a song featured in Dumbo. It is sung by an off screen singer (possibly Mrs. Jumbo) and a small chorus. It is heard during Dumbo's visit to his mother while she's locked up in the prison wagon. It was also nominated for an Academy Award. It was also nominated for AFI's 100 years...100 songs, as one of 15 from Disney and one of 17 from an animated movie to be nominated. The ones that eventually made the cut was: When You Wish Upon A Star (#7), Some Day My Prince Will Come (#19), Beauty and the Beast (#62) and Hakuna Matata (#99).

For the 1988 Touchstone film Beaches, Bette Midler covered the song during the scene where C.C. (Midler) helps Hilary (Barbara Hershey) prepare for her baby.

During Summer Nightastic!, the song was played the nights Dumbo flew over Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland.

The song is also covered by the youngest former Celtic Woman member Chloë Agnew for the Lullaby CD.



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 they say Let those eyes sparkle and shine Never a tear Baby of mine

From your head to your toes You're so sweet, goodness knows You are so precious to me Cute as can be Baby of mine

Baby mine Baby mine
