Love's Small Song is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Baby Dee. The album was released in 2002 and consisted of two discs. The first disc contains songs composed and performed by Dee, while the second disc contains a singular 55-minute sound collage of birdsongs, specifically robins' songs. All recordings used were recorded in the backyard of Dee's mother's home in Cleveland.
Love's Small Song is currently out of print as a lone album. The first disc has been compiled in its entirety with Little Window and Made for Love as the 2-CD set The Robin's Tiny Throat, released by Durtro Jnana in 2007. The second disc is available as The Robins' Song, released by Drag City in 2008.
