Baby Mine - Bette Midler

Baby Mine is from the Beaches Soundtrack. It was originally part of Disney's Dumbo. This song is a mother's lullaby to her baby. Disney played the song when Dumbo was finally able to visit his mother after she was imprisoned for attacking the circus patrons and the Circus Headmaster dude. Mrs. Jumbo cannot see her baby but she is able to stretch her trunk out so that baby Dumbo is able to sit on the trunk like a swing and be comforted. While I had heard the song in Dumbo I never really remembered it until I heard it again after watching Beaches. Bette's amazing vocals give this song new life, and it has been the constant lullabye that I have sang to my babies. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Baby Mine - Bette Midler

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.

Thriller - Michael Jackson

Even though Michael Jackson was an iconic music artist with his best work done in the 80's (yes I'm biased... I love the 80's and wish they hadn't disappeared. LOL) I was quite young when this song came out. My parents didn't believe in MTV so I never saw any music videos growing up. I think the 1st time I saw the dance moves to this song was when I saw the movie 13 going on 30. I loved it! So fun! Anyway, a friend of mine posted the dance scene from the movie the other day on his Facebook and I decided it was time to watch the original video (wow was it long. LOL). Just have to say, Michael, there was a reason you were dubbed "King of Pop". May you rest in peace!


Thriller
Michael Jackson


It's close to midnight and something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination, girl!
But all the while you hear the creature creeping up behind
You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
Thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

Night creatures calling, the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time
(They're open wide)
This is the end of your life

They're out to get you, there's demons closing in on every side
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/michael-jackson-lyrics/thriller-lyrics.html ]
They will possess you unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a
Killer, diller, chiller, thriller here tonight

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghost would ever dare try
Thriller, thriller night
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow!

(I'm gonna thrill ya tonight)
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'alls neighborhood

I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, ooh baby
I'm gonna thrill ya tonight, oh darlin'
Thriller night, baby, ooh!

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

Oh Lord, My Redeemer - By Jeff Goodrich

I first heard this song when I was fresh out of high school. When I heard the lyrics, it made me want to cry... such a powerful song, that makes you remember just who our Lord and Savior Jesus really is, and what he did for us. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do.

Oh Lord, My Redeemer Lyrics

Jeff Goodrich

And the Roman soldiers laughed
When they saw their pris'ner stumble
He did not revile them back.
And wondering, I asked,
"Who was this man so humble?"

And a woman at my side
Choked on her reply.
Though she struggled not to weep,
The tears poured down her cheek,
Her heart breaking as she cried:

"Oh Lord, my Redeemer,
Thou has done so much for me!
Oh Lord, my Redeemer.
All my love I give to Thee!"

And the crowd went pushing on.
I felt compelled to follow.
I knew that they were wrong
How they mocked Him all along.
Suddenly my heart felt hollow.

For they nailed Him to a tree
On a hill called Calvary.
While I stood there filled with wonder,
The heavens roared with thunder,
And again I heard this plea:

"Oh Lord, my Redeemer,
Thou has done so much for me!
Oh Lord, my Redeemer.
All my love I give to Thee!"

I could not forget His face
As I wandered from that place.
With the questions ever burning.
I put myself to learning.
And each answer came with grace.

And I knelt in earnest prayer.
His memory still there
And the more that I'd enquire.
The hotter burned the fire.
I found joy beyond compare.

And the day turned into three.
Morning found me in a garden
Where the gentle April breeze
Returned me to my knees,
Pleading for a pardon.

And I can't say when or why
I opened up my eyes
But his feet were there before me,
His hands were open o'er me,
And His face I recognized.

"Oh Lord, my Redeemer,
Thou has done so much for me!
Oh Lord, my Redeemer.
All my love I give to Thee!"
