Lyrics:
Baby face, don't grow so fast
Make a special wish that will always last
Rub this magic lantern
He will make your dreams come true for you
Ride the rainbow to the other side
Catch a falling star and then take a ride
To the river that sings
And the clover that brings
Good luck to you
It's all true
Pink elephants and lemonade
Dear Jessie
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day
Dear Jessie
See the roses raining on the love parade
If the land of make believe
Is inside your heart it will never leave
There's a golden gate where the fairies all wait
And dancing moons for you
Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold
You can never grow old
Where dreams are made
Your love parade
Pink elephants and lemonade
Dear Jessie
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day
Dear Jessie
See the roses raining on the love parade
Your dreams are made inside the love parade
It's a holiday inside the love parade
On the merry-go-round
Of lovers and white turtle doves
Leprechauns floating by
This is your lullaby
Sugarplum fingertips
Kissing your honey lips
Close your eyes sleepy head
Is it time for your bed
Never forget what I said
Hang on you're already there
Close your eyes and you'll be there
Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair
Like a fountain of gold
You can never grow old
Where dreams are made
Your love parade
Pink elephants and lemonade
Dear Jessie
Hear the laughter running through the love parade
Candy kisses and a sunny day
Dear Jessie
See the roses raining on the love parade
Your dreams are made inside the love parade
It's a holiday inside the love parade

Agree. It wasn't (undeservedly) as famous as other songs because it was so different from what Madonna had produced so far. A children's lullaby wasn't the kind of thing people expected when this album was released. But it really is a good, sweet song, showing a preview of what she would do in Ray of Light, that was made about the time when she became a mum.

How I miss the days when Madonna made such songs... Timeless melodies, warm & human musical arrangements, real vocals, no autotune, no generic rappers, no trends... just pure music and pure talent. Where has this artist gone ?

[@peterisawesomeplease]

I mean she didn't write this song. What we fall in love with tend to be production teams even if we don't realize it. Nothing wrong with it. But it explains why they often go through such dramatic changes.

[@noonegetstheprize]

She’s grown older, into a new era. just like you should. Stop trying to force her to be the same, she’s only human with feelings like everyone else.

[@Cicilo1983]

@@noonegetstheprize Yeah, I know, I'm such a bully. She's sooooo tired of me trying to force her into making music that she doesn't want to make. It's gotten to a point where she doesn't even want to look at what people are writing about her on KZbin, for fear of running into me (because yes, she DOES read our comments, since she really cares about what random strangers think). As a matter of fact, after wiping away her tears last night, she was just about to cave in and to call Stephen Bray, because she couldn't take the pressure from me anymore. Then she also read your comment, and her world brightened up. She felt vindicated, validated, loved, understood. She said, "The hell with Cicilo1983 ! I'm going to listen to noonegetstheprice instead. I'm calling [insert generic rapper of the week that no-one will care about in three months], and I'm puttin' on my iconic eyepatch again !"". You might have saved her life AND her career. Thank God for people like you.

[@conatcha]

@@Cicilo1983 LOL People can't stand other's opinions these days. I'm with you: she got lazy. Apart of her just going with the flow with the last trends, she is using up her previous successes (new -shitty- version of Frozen, new --shitty- version of Hung Up, re-release of the Sex Book). I loved her creativity back in the days. I have been fan of hers from the Like a Virgin era but I didn't even bougth her last 3 studio album, they bore me to death. I love her personality and that she makes just what she feels like, but about her current music I am not interested at all.

[@jessicapliego767]

This song came to me in the most unexpected moment. My mom passed away when I was an infant, so when I want to have some kind of contact with her I "visit" the street where she grew up and stop by her former home just to "be there". This always results in something abnormal happening. Last time (tonight) this is what happened. I was feeling down and wanted to hear from my mom. Five minutes after passing by her home I turned on my KZbin app to hear the presidential debate but couldn't get it and this song showed up at the top of my list. I'm a big Madonna fan and had never even heard it. My mom sent it to me when I needed to hear from her. I know I'm a dreamer, but it works for me. And my real name is Jessica so yes, even that part she got right. Thank you Madonna! amazing song and I know you lost your mom too, so the song has so much meaning. Oh Father is also one of my top ones because it also hits home in such a way. Love both. Madonna is a genius, absolutely love her work.

Over the years I have come back to this song time and again. It's kinda funny that it has stayed the same but as I have become older it has taken on many different meanings to me. As a girl it was a promise of beautiful future. As a mother at 25 years old it was a hope for my children to keep their Innocence as long as possible. At 40 it was a lullaby for my grand daughter to listen to as she drifts off to sleep. Now I'm approaching 50 it has become the song I want to be played at my funeral. I know it seems dark but it is what I feel will happen to me when my time comes. That the pain I have known, battles I have fought, disappointments in life, all the ways that the world has shown me will be as if they never happened and I will be in that world of make believe that I never gave up on. 💓🐘🍋🍬💋☀️ 💓🎪

[@MatthewAnderson-mi5yv]

Like a prayer is my favorite Madonna album. One review I read in the past described it's eclectic variety of styles as kaleidoscopic. Much of it is rooted in 60s pop and rock, as well as 70s funk. It was maybe just another attempt to reinvent herself, but I must say, true artistry was achieved here. This song was a crucial piece of the album as a whole. It makes me think of the Beatles and the Mommas and the Papas. I really love how this lullaby of a song seamlessly turns into the son Oh Father. That song is dark and emotional, yet with a theme of healing. The juxtaposition of both songs, one right after the other might seem jarring thematically, but it works beautifully. Listen to the LAP album if you haven't already!

With all of Madonna's pop prowess, this song shows the versatility of the artist in her long imperial phase -- so different from her other singles, with its childlike sense of wonder and playfulness. And the fact that this song appears on the same album as the haunting "Like a Prayer" and "Oh Father," the funky "Express Yourself," and the endearing "Cherish" that is a pastiche of '60s-meets-'80s pop... is astounding. An underrated moment for Madonna on, perhaps, her best album.

[@OasisEnLaLunna]

Funny you say that. huge Madonna fan here. But the original goal of LAP was to record an "easy listening album" since her people figured Pop music was stagnant and at that point Madonna had 3 pop albums, two world tours and had amassed Two #1 hits with ballads and had just finished a Broadway play "Speed the plow". So the goal was to make an album to connect with adult fans. But I dont think they quite got it right. Regardless it was a great album. The only real diff between LAP and the work prior to this was that it had more acoustic instruments like strings and brass but it was still pop music. Do you know the first 10 songs they recorded for this album were scrapped because they were deemed too "dark" and they were all about her relationship with Sean Penn?? Most of them remain unreleased but only "Oh Father" and "Til Death Do Us Part" were on this album. And "Something to remember" found its way on her next album.

Her zenith. it was all downhill after this.

[@Red_Rebel]

Jim Morrison Ray of Light and beyond ding ding ding even Erotica and beyond per say

[@Cas82958]

I Absolutely agree

[@joebragg3114]

if the beatles had written this and george martin produced i wouldnt blink. One of Madonnas finest tunes.

[@davidjames579]

That's a startling comparison. It really is like Madonna's Beatles song. With the animation as well, you can imagine this being in The Yellow Submarine.

[@becauseisaidso92]

A genius comment

[@Jessieheels77]

Yep, this could have been on Sgt Pepper or Yellow Submarine and it would have gotten the credit it deserves. One of Madonna's finest. Possibly I'm biased, being a Jessica but it's one of the two songs which feature my name I actually like. The second is Jessica by the Allman Brothers.

[@SmoothCinnamonX]

I was just thinking this is so Beatles! Like a Prayer it's a phenomenal album that deserves to be regarded universally as one of the greatest albums ever made.

[@kewkabe]

RIght, the strings and horns and the switch to 3/4 time in the middle part is very Beatle-esque.

[@alisterfolson]

I was this old (54 in 2024) when I heard this the time.

[@deangriffin9095]

The strings and brass, just a dream for me! Memories and everything. Only EVER madonna song for me

[@stuartcowley1095]

This is one of my mum's favourite songs. god I miss her everyday.

[@jennyliggins9418]

Your mum had amazing taste. Much love.

[@beng.milligan5741]

Omg, I forgotten about this song. Her voice was so nice and fun... Love you queen

[@fegasd]

Brings me back to a time when I was a kid, driving my bike, listening this song on my walkman, my dad was alive... I would love to be back in those days for a few minutes before my time is out, with this song as last one I will ever hear.

[@LeoDragonite]

I've been listening to Madonna since the late 90s and today December 12, 2022 is the 1st time I've heard this song!

[@МарияСуппес-м6т]

It was the 1st song together with Cherish I heard in 1990 and I didn`t think she was something like "sex-symbol"!)))

[@Rashers-]

Loads of people I’ve shown this to have never heard either your not alone catchy tune reminds me of being a kid….check out Elton John’ original sin I’ve shown people that who know there music and him and have never heard it great song and story to the song aswell ✅

[@kaimeha]

Just great, now I have to remember those days when life was ahead of me.. I miss this song and don’t know how I forgot this😭

[@marcoalvarenga8291]

So classy, so modern and antique at same time. Dear Jessie is so pure and innocent, and to the childhood

[@henriqueramos3197]

"Dear Jessie" Released: December 10, 1989 [Verse 1] Baby face, don't grow so fast Make a special wish that will always last Rub this magic lantern He will make your dreams come true for you Ride the rainbow to the other side Catch a falling star and then take a ride To the river that sings and the clover that Brings good luck to you, it's all true [Chorus] Pink elephants and lemonade Dear Jessie, hear the laughter running through the love parade Candy kisses and a sunny day Dear Jessie, see the roses raining on the love parade [Verse 2] If the land of make believe Is inside your heart it will never leave There's a golden gate where the fairies all wait And dancing moons for you [Pre-Chorus] Close your eyes and you'll be there Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old Where dreams are made, your love parade [Chorus] Pink elephants and lemonade Dear Jessie, hear the laughter running through the love parade Candy kisses and a sunny day Dear Jessie, see the roses raining on the love parade [Post-Chorus] Your dreams are made inside the love parade It's a holiday inside the love parade [Bridge] On the merry-go-round of lovers and white turtle doves Leprechauns floating by, this is your lullaby Sugarplum fingertips kissing your honey lips Close your eyes sleepy head, is it time for your bed Never forget what I said, hang on you're already there [Pre-Chorus] Close your eyes and you'll be there Where the mermaids sing as they comb their hair Like a fountain of gold you can never grow old Where dreams are made, your love parade [Chorus] Pink elephants and lemonade Dear Jessie, hear the laughter running through the love parade Candy kisses and a sunny day Dear Jessie, see the roses raining on the love parade [Post-Chorus] Your dreams are made inside your love parade It's a holiday inside your love parade Produced By Madonna & Patrick Leonard Written By Patrick Leonard & Madonna Album LIKE A PRAYER (1989)

[@tariethompson714]

My mom sung this to me as a lullaby at night only thing she changed was the name. Such great memories when I'm older and have kids will defiantly sing this to them using their names as mom did for me

[@zbow6400]

I did this too with my son

[@SagittariusArcherVaperkitten]

Awww, thats what I did with my Daughter, she was born in 1990 and I would just change the name to Dear Nikki. Makes me smile to hear of other mothers doing the same.

[@mew9585]

Omg same

[@kellyswat7836]

Remember when this great album was the most popular album ever????

[@NikkiDeJonge]

I have to add: when I first heard this, back then..in 89..it kinda..sounded like a lullaby.. :)

[@user-uh7cz3tu7f]

Really Queen Madonna you're Trademark for the American Music industry. 🌹💜🌟♥️🌟💝🎶👑🎶💝🌟♥️🌟💜🌹

[@Gho3t-lord]

Best song she ever released

[@markjames3879]

I love it! Clean wholesome immagination and fun, very whimsical and magical think this single is one of her best. But" TRUE BLUE" got to be my favorite over all.

[@eveyron03]

I finally found this song on the internet and was elated to hear it once again. I love this song cheers to Madonna on a great collaboration.

[@angiemcclellan4378]

thank you ! i do not really like thi video but this song did & still does woners for me. i think of both my boys wen this be play'd now they r 16 & almost 18 & it still gets under my skin my boys know y love for Madonna but this song really gets it :-)

[@rickogden204]

This was when Madonna was great.

[@johnlee9624]

Defo agree

[@TheFunfairfan]

I’m 40 years old and when I was 5 my eldest sister bought this on cassette . It felt magical , I still remember it playing then and the b side was Till Death Do us Part

[@FalardeMusicaeLegal]

I'm not a Madonna fan. But Like a Prayer is a piece of art. And this song is really, really special. The videoclip is adorable... Where did all the love go?

[@samanthapottinger9304]

Magical!

[@RDrRD1989]

Samantha Pottinger Exactly. Magical Madonna....

[@nrantehandad3773]

That's why Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Star said they admire her 💗

[@renerios9894]

I'm sure plentty of people will connect with me. When we were young and felt sad , we felt this song was made just for us to never forget that there is always happiness inside of each one of us. Now that we're adults and have kids it"s a huge feeling of how much we love our sons and daughters, reminding them we wish they never let go to this inner happiness. It's a space were we bond togheter for ever no matter what. We are together with, and for them. Son never forget what I say.

[@RK-ml2ns]

The Sweetest Pop Lulluby ever. There is a reason why Madonna has sold more records than any other female music artist.

[@CraigRosendorff-gi5ju]

One of my all time favorites. Brings a smile to my face and makes me feel young

[@clairemckinley691]

Here from Jessica Kellgren-Fozard’s video! I am so curious as to how her doll ended up in this video

[@ananas3393]

Me too. I asked but she didn't see my comment.

[@soneacoll5435]

a commenter on the video said this: TazzleDazzle (12 hours ago): "She's mentioned it before. Her dad did the animation (and direction) for a Madonna video (dear Jessie) and used her toys in it too"

[@blamdeeyrann4240]

She should produce and write some songs for Disney 😍 she writes some of the best seller children books!

[@danbam3411]

The entire imagery of this music video is straight up Fantasia

[@jackiedavison9898]

Disney is bad.

[@lovejoy3347]

Totally agree. This is magical!.

[@MrCrashlover679]

Why not Warner Bros? :)

[@michaelreilly3513]

@@MrCrashlover679 Disney is associated with childlike fairytales similar to this song's themes.

[@homg85]

This song make me yearn for the time when a kids bedroom was like that in this video. Childhood was amazing back then. Simple. Easy. Carefree.

[@fernrodrigues3434]

This song always makes me emotional... I simply love it!

[@danieleziliotto8932]

Actually my favorite Madonna's song. I do love this song!!!!

[@lancejm1]

This song is so underrated

Agreed

Just played this to my 7 year old daughter and watched her smiling. Brought a tear to my eye watching the wonder in her eyes

[@kdkdviper]

She has 265 Worldwide number 1 hits, also your favorite?

[@maritzame.9508]

This song is one of my all time favorites. When I am asked who songs this song almost everyone is in disbelief that it is Madonna. They asked when did she come out with it.. IDK sometime after like a virgin.
