I will give you cover

I keep you warm when it’s cool.

I hide you from the dark.

I am the sleeping tool,

from which you will never part.

In loving comfort I will hug you.

You will get that feeling you are relaxed.

When sleep is what you want to do,

you’ll awaken refreshed and that is the fact.

I am your best friend.

Your back I will cover.

Count on me until your sleeps ends.

You won’t need another.

I will not leave you.

You can always count on me.

I will always be true,

together the morning we will see.
