Love is a song that never ends

Life may be swift and fleeting

Hope may die

Yet love's beautiful music

Comes each day like the dawn

Love is a song that never ends

One simple theme repeating

Like the voice of a heavenly choir

Love's sweet music flows on

Like the voice of a heavenly choir

Love's sweet music flows on

Mother, what we going to do today?

l'm going to take you to the meadow.

Meadow? What's the meadow?

lt's a very wonderful place.

Then why haven't we been there before?

You weren't big enough.

- Mother, you know what?

- What?

We're not the only deer in the forest.

- Where did you hear that?

- Thumper told me.

Well, he's right.

There are many deer

in the forest besides us.

Then why don't l ever see them?

- You will, sometime.

- On the meadow?

Perhaps.

Hush now.

We're almost there.

- The meadow.

- Wait.

Bambi, wait.

You must never rush out on the meadow.

There might be danger.

Out there, we're unprotected.

The meadow is wide and open,

and there are no trees or bushes

to hide us.

So we have to be very careful.

Wait here.

l'll go out first. And if the meadow

is safe, l'll call you.

Come on, Bambi. lt's all right.

Come on.

Good morning, Prince Bambi.

Good morning, young prince.

Hello. What ya eatin'?

- Clover.

- lt's awfully good.

lt's delicious.

Why don't you try some?

No, not that green stuff.

Just eat the blossoms.

That's the good stuff.

Thumper.

- Yes, Mama?

- What did your father tell you?

About what?

About eating the blossoms

and leaving the greens?

Oh, that one.

Eating greens is a special treat.

lt makes long ears

and great big feet.

But it sure is awful stuff to eat.

l made that last part up myself.

Watch out.

That's little Faline.

He's kind of bashful, isn't he, Mama?

Well, maybe he wouldn't be

if you'd say hello.

Hello, Bambi.

l said hello.

Well, aren't you going to answer her?

You're not afraid, are you?

Well, then, go ahead.

Go on, say hello.

Hello.

You.

He stopped and looked at me.

Yes, l know.

Why was everyone still

when he came on the meadow?

Everyone respects him.

For of all the deer in the forest,

not one has lived half so long.

He's very brave and very wise.

That's why he's known as

the Great Prince of the Forest.

Faline.

Bambi.

Mother.

Bambi.

Mother.

Come on out, Bambi.

Come on.

lt's safe now.

We don't have to hide any longer.

What happened, Mother?

Why did we all run?

Man was in the forest.

Mother, look.

What's all that white stuff?

Why, it's snow.

- Snow?

- Yes.

Winter has come.

Hiya, Bambi.

Watch what l can do.

Come on. lt's all right.

Look.

The water's stiff.

Some fun, huh, Bambi?

Come on, get up. Like this.

Kinda wobbly, aren't you?

Got to watch both ends

at the same time.

Guess you better unwind it.

Wake up. Wake up, Flower.

ls it spring yet?

No. Winter's just started.

What you doing? Hibernating?

What do you want to do that for?

All us flowers sleep in the winter.

Well, good night.

Winter sure is long, isn't it?

lt seems long.

But it won't last forever.

l'm awful hungry, Mother.

Yes, l know.

Bambi, come here.

Look.

New spring grass.

Bambi. Quick.

The thicket.

Faster. Faster, Bambi.

Don't look back. Keep running.

Keep running.

We made it.

We made it, Mother.

We...

Mother.
