[groaza112]

dormi means sleep in romanian

[mariboccful]

@groaza112 dormi is also Italian from the verb dormire

[singchef1965]

I absolutely L O V E Jerry Lewis. I think he is BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!

[Stefanogam]

Happy Birthday Jerry!!! Best wishes from Italy! : )

[Goedhartbros]

Did Jerry sing this song himself?

[songkona]

@Goedhartbros Yes indeed, he did!

[123CHEGOUAMINHAVEZ]

Además de comediante, Jerry era un autentico galán. Cuando tenía 20 años no era tan galán cuanto sería más tarde a los 40 y el facto es que Jerry no era feo. Me considero un hombre guapo, pero, se yo fuera parecido a Jerry Lewis, tenería encontrado una mujer para mí más rápido jajajajaja.

[dearmalika]

[quintstale]

Thank you so much for posting this video! Rock a Bye Baby is one of my all time favorite Jerry Lewis movies! This song is heartbreakingly beautiful! Thanks again!

[dreamonink]

Great share!! Thanks for this. Does anyone have that song from Cinderfeller when he was sitting in the basement before the ball, in his Dad's tux??? Hope someone posts it! It's beautiful

[vinniecat2889]

does anyone have the lyrics? i searched but i can't find them.

i love the pics!!

[destinedmusician]

The lyrics are: Dormi Dormi Dormi Goodnight and sleep well my love Dormi Dormi Dormi Angels are watching above Till the dawn on tiptoe Spills over your window sill May every bright star attend thee And befriend thee With it's light This little song may I send thee Dormi Dormi My love good night

[destinedmusician]

(I know the italian lyrics but I couldn't write them down for you)

But there is a second vamp that was sung in the movie, Rock A Bye Baby:

Vamp:

Every little bambino yearns

For this little song that he learns

Long before he learns that the earths a balloon

To each little note that I sing

I have tied a dream on a string

There are dreams running all through the tune

So I hope that helps :)

[cybermatufia]

"Angels are watchin´ above"

Very nice song, I used to sang it

when my daughter was a baby

she´s 14 years old now------

"Dormi dormi my love good night"

thank you from Argentina

[Spell1123]

I love this song! How do you find it? I have been trying to get the DVD of the movie, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I love this movie as a kid ahd I know my kids would love this movie too.

Thank you for posting it!

[MrsXantipa]

[lilhunnigurl]

lilhunnigul Thanks...

[sandeeharper]

I love the song and the photos, specially those where he was with Patty and their children. Then I read the comments below and I watched the picture with Dannielle, a lot of times. It is great. I played with my children all the time in that way, and they are alive and happy. Come on, it is a great video, congratulations!!!!

[JerryLewisLover]

Oh how lovely! I would sing this every night to myslelf when I was younger. Beautiful song!

[gentlemobster]

I have been told by a very reliable source close to Mr. Lewis, that during that period when his daughter was young her feet rarely touched the ground because he was always holding her. In the picture it is clear they both felt comfortable.

[gentlemobster]

Keep the video up, there is nothing wrong with any of the pictures.

[ghanasoul]

that was VERY VERY stupid of Jerry to hold his daughter upside down at 2:43. didnt know he was that dumb to do that. great song and i love Jerry but that was a uncomfy thing to see.!!

[songkona]

Aw, come on. My dad did that with me all the time! I think most dads do, in some way or another. :) I know Jerry would never do anything that he thought would hurt his daughter (or any child)!

Actually, I love the expression on her face in that picture because you can see that she trusts him, and is totally calm!

[Martinalutherking]

What the hell are you talking about?! Relaxed and totally calm?! Are you crazy?! Nothing about the blood rushing to a kids brains is relaxing or calming to the child!!!

Her face looked redder than her dress!!! Your dad sounds like a loon and so does Jerry "Yeah I called him a Fag" Lewis!!!

[Martinalutherking]

I co-sign you, that idiot looked old as shit - that's why he had her upside down! He probably was too old to notice what side of the baby was up.

It's okay for him to hold a baby upside down, and the Steve Irwim to hold his baby in front of a crocodile. It's cute - but Michael Jackson holds his kids out a window all hell breaks loss!!!!

[songkona]

I find the spiteful and offensive tone of your comments unnecessary, and I considered deleting them but I am interested in others' opinions.

I maintain that a little bit of "rough-housing" is a completely normal part of any child's development. As is spending a good deal of time upside-down, I'll warrant. I suppose you never hung upside down on the monkey bars? Personally, I would rather depend on my father's strength holding me, instead of my own strength against gravity.

[Martinalutherking]

*Ucan delete my comments,I said what I had to say and those who needed to see it saw it!

*If u were truly about other having the right to their opinions,when homeboy made the initial comment about the girl being hung upside down u would've kept ur mouth shut.

*Bottom line,Lewis looked stupid,the child looked scared,the situation didn't look secure.

Just because you have an infinity for a celebrity doesn't mean you have to justify every action they make (even stupid ones). I stand by my claim.

[songkona]

I believe the word you're looking for is "affinity." :)

I will insist upon one point, and that is that the little girl does NOT look scared. The small resized image in the video might have distorted her expression (or the color of her face), but I have the large version of the photo, and having spent a great deal of time with children (and therefore knowing something about them!), I can assure you she does not look scared, worried, uncomfortable, or any such thing!

[songkona]

"Bottom line," Jerry doesn't need me to play defense attorney for him. I, along with others, believe that his actions and words set him apart as a kind, wonderful human being, and if you have come to different conclusions based on what you have observed then no argument from me will change your mind. I think we can consider this subject closed?

[MCPADDY2008]

I have the original 45 of this song

[MrsJerryLewis]

lovely! this song makes me melt anytime I hear it....
