MY BABY LOVE.

(Florence, Teddy and Nell.)
My love is my baby, so winsome and fair,
With soft, curling ringlets of silken light hair,
And eyes that in color will vie with the hue
Of fleecy-light clouds in the brightest of blue;
Oh, darling, oh, loved one, with dear dimpled face,
Your mamma will hold you in loving embrace,
And safe guard your life from all sorrow And pain,
And sing to you softly the tender refrain,
My baby, my darling, I'm with you again.
Refrain.
Sniping a lullaby, my little love,
The angels will join me in songs from above;
And softly I'll sing you the tender refrain.
My baby, my darling, I'm with you again.
Lullaby, lullaby, one I love best,
May my simple lullaby bring you sweet rest.
My love is my baby, so bonnie and mat,
My loved one is always so loving and sweet;
My own little lassie I treasure your smile;
My eyes shall be lighted with love all the while;
Oh, darling, oh, loved one, I'm watching o'er you;
I'll guard your young life, oh, so precious and true;
I'll kiss you, I'll love you while my life remain,
And sing to you softly the tender refrain,
My baby, my darling, I'm with you again.-Refrain.
