MY BABY'S LIPS, by                    
First Line: My baby's lips can reach my hand
Last Line: Kiss on, o baby mine.
Subject(s): Babies; Hands; Kisses; Infants


My baby's lips can reach my hand,
O baby, baby mine;
They steal the sting from reprimand
And contravene each stern command,
I'm helpless, for I can't withstand
Those lips, O baby mine.

Your rosy lips were made to kiss,
O baby, baby mine;
But not my hand as armistice
When punished for some deed remiss,
Though when you win, to lose is bliss,
Kiss on, O baby mine.
