No parent ever dreams of outliving their child, and yet, it is an unfortunate circumstance that happens all too often. For those who lose a child, overwhelming grief understandably takes precedence over making decisions about funeral plans and playlists. “Baby Mine” by Bette Midler is a beautiful funeral song that can make at least one aspect of these decisions easier in a time of intense grief and despair. The song, which is also featured in the Disney movie, Dumbo, is known for being a sentimental tearjerker. The touching lyrics convey memories of precious little loved ones.

“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 to tear, baby of mine.”
