English term or phrase: Take good care of my baby

This is the title of a promotional DVD of a famous worldwide express delivery company, with subtitles. The DVD is about the great care the courier company puts when handlng all the customers' parcels, as if they were babies...In English, the title is obviously taken from a famous song.
Now, am facing probably the biggest challenge in out profession: HOW CAN I NOT ONLY TRANSLATE, BUT RENDER AND LOCALISE SUCH TITLE...? Ideas please!!!! Thanks guys

"Avrò cura di te" sounds really good!
I suggested "prenditi cura di lei" because it was taken also from a song and the meaning is the same!
