Ok...I get that it's technically not from a musical, but Baby Mine from Dumbo is one of my favorites and I put it on a CD for my niece when she was born.

"You Walk With Me" from The Full Monty is also
somewhat appropriate.

There is, in my book, only one song about protecting someone. Anytime (I am There) from William Finn's Elegies. It is just so perfect.

"Anytime you laugh,
Anytime you cry.
Anytime, you hear a sound.
When your on the grass,
Lying on the ground.
Anytime you wash your hands I'll be around.
Im out there on the baseball field,
Though I'm well concealed,
I'll be out there cheering.
I am there in the books you read,
It is guarenteed...
I'm not dissapearing fast."
