Our Baby (Cheeks of Rose, Tiny Toes)

DESCRIPTION: "Cheeks of rose, tiny toes, Has our little baby, Eyes of blue, fingers too, Cunning all as may be." "Mouth so fair, skin so clear." "Thee I love, sweetest dove." "Crow and play, all the day, Happy little baby, May your life... Pure as 'tis today be."

NOTES [46 words]: Heart-Songs calls this a "French Folksong." It offers no French words, and I can't find a traditional version. I think I heard it somewhere, but that doesn't make it a folksong either. So I suspect the Heart-Songs attribution is wrong -- but I'm putting it in just in case. - RBW
